You deserve awesomization.

Holiday Card Giveaway!

It’s that time of year again, kids! Sparky’s mailing out his client holiday cards.

I love coming up with new images for my holiday cards. This year I thought I would inject a little hope into the coming year. I’m feeling good about what’s to come in 2009 and I’d like to pass that feeling along to my clients. When my clients do well, I do well. Everybody wins.

I have a very special, super-secret, hand-picked list of people that receive these cards. Art Directors, CEOs, Television Producers, Toy Makers, and even a few celebs (it’s a secret) will get one of these signed for their office “mantle.” Not even my mother gets one of these (rest assured, she gets something else). These are Golden Tickets, if you will. 

Here’s an image of this year’s card:

This year, I decided to reward my readers (and Twitter followers) by giving you all the opportunity to receive one, too. As the cards are limited edition (5″ x 7″ on 80 lb. stock), I admit I can’t give them away willy nilly (or even just nilly). I need to limit the free cards to the first 50 people who respond before December 15th. So here goes!

To get your own lovely card signed by the artist (that’s me):

1. Subscribe to my RSS feed and Follow me on Twitter. If you’re already sub’d and followin’, skip to Step 2.

2. E-mail your snail mail address* to david at sparkyfirepants dot com. Let me know you did Step 1!

3. Wait for the love to arrive.

That’s it! Three simple steps and you can share in the same printed sentiment that the people on my Super Secret List get. Why not? If you’re here reading this you are automatically very special to me.

Of course, you can skip the three steps by commissioning me for illustration before December 15th. Become a client and the rewards are many.

Either way, have a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic 2009.

  • I already follow you and will subscribe to your RSS feeds and email you my address. It is a nice design. I like the color scheme.

    Thanks
  • Thanks, David.

    Already belong to SCBWI. (Or did. I let my membership lapse.) : (

    In fact, went to their national conference in NYC a few years back and got to shop my middle grade novel around with editors, agents. Very cool experience! I'm also a graduate of the University of Washington Writing for Children Certificate Program. Just need to apply the seat of the pants to the chair now.
  • Aww, shucks, everyone. You're too kind.

    @Judy Dunn Rejection letters are awesome. It means you're out there! You should check out the SCBWI (http://scbwi.org). Good stuff for you.

    There are still a few cards left, so if you're reading this and thought you missed it... keep trying (as they say on the radio).
  • Oh david,

    I don't know what to say. I am still shopping my picture book around (Simon and Schuster held the manuscript for nine month before sending me the nicest rejection letter I've ever gotten), but (even though they say don't submit it with your pre-conceived illustrations), I REALLY want you to do the illustrations!

    Your card is amazing and thanks for sharing the "rough draft" on twitter! Lucky people who get one of these!

  • What a great illo! As usual, you give it that extra Sparky shine! So very cool to actually know you, and all the other amazingly talented, gifted illustrators (Von, etc.)

    You inspire me, and I'm sure you do to others as well -
  • You make art that makes me smile.
  • Hey David, my email is already on it's way.

    And I love this card! Unfortunately we ordered our cards, but we do them through UNICEF, and they have kids on them as well. It's a good cause!

    You are truly a gifted artist and I wish you the best in the Holiday Season.
