TJ's Giveaway: And the Winners are...

Hi Everyone!

Say CHEEESE!!

I shall keep this post short and simple and go straight to announcing the winners. So what I did was the following...I threw your names on my drawing desk (couldn't find my Magic Hat -_-) and these were the ones that I picked out:

Ms. Nicola Ellen

Ms. Maylin Gonzalez

Mr. Dailybeerreview

Ms. Dani Heart

Ms. Katy Kern

Congratulations!!! *throws around with confetti and ribbons* I'll be contacting you in the upcoming days. To everyone else, please do NOT be disappointed. There will be a new giveaway very soon as an important date is approaching (my...birthday.) and I always do a giveaway to celebrate this with you all. I am already pondering about the price! ^_^

As for the questions, I replied to most questions in the comment section. However, some questions do deserve their own post, so stay tuned for that. I will be tagging you on Facebook, Twitter or send an email if I answered your question in a post, so you will know when it's...well answered hehe.

This is it for now. I think my next post is going to be either a new commission post (got a few lined up for you all to stare at!) or a rambling post...got lots of stuff in my draft folder for you.

Enjoy your Sunday!

TJ's Giveaway: It's here! It's finally here! (closed)

GIVEAWAY is closed! ^_^

Finally.

The Giveaway arrived. Did you hear my dramatic voice? I totally did a dramatic voice.

It's funny. I decided to do a giveaway when my page on facebook would hit 300 likes. Now I'm already at 459 likes and for this big increase a HUGE thank you goes to the lovely Carmen from "Paying it Forward - One Day at the Time"...every time when she shared my page, quite a lot of happy souls found my page and I couldn't be more grateful. It only means I can share what I love to do most with even more people and I hope it will put a smile on their faces as well :D

As I was thinking about a lovely prize/prizes, time flew by and work got crazy busy and now...now I can also announce proudly that I entered my third year of blogging as well (June 14th, to be exact!). Goodness! Where did the time go? I'd never thought to be blogging for this long already and as each year passes, my blog gets a different purpose, well not an entirely different purpose as my Art has always been my biggest focus point. You won't see a post with without a doodle or two. However, blogging gave me a new perspective on life, a new way of living and doing what I love to. I learned how to write better posts, capture my thoughts, most importantly I got a better insight in myself as a person and what I really want to get out life. You could say that I'm aware of how I live my life and how I want to live my life...up till a while back, I basically took most things for granted and did things others expected me to do so....I should stop talking as you guys probably think "TEEEJAAAY!! I want to know about the giveaway!!"

You were, weren't you....? Oh my gosh!

Hehe. As always, if you want to join, do read everything and please follow the rules.

So what can you win this time? I won't have 1st, 2nd or 3rd winners, where the prizes go from big to small. No. Instead of this I have 5 sets of 2 prints and I will pick 5 winners! Obviously hehe. Oh. There will be an EXTRA surprise when one receives his/her package, but what this is....I am not going to tell ^_^.

The prints of the Inky Ladies with black frame can vary as I have 13 different ladies, but for picture purposes I grabbed a few random ones. Okay, so what do you have to do?

1. Leave a comment. It's as simple as that, but it is a MUST. Plus, I do have two questions this time. You do have to answer them please.

What would you do if you'd meet me in person?

and

Ask me a (random) question.

This could be anything from art to fashion/beauty (yes. you ladies can ask me e.g. about the make-up I wear, about my hair etc.) or you can ask my thoughts on a certain subject or just a totally random question. I'll  use these questions for future posts and it's a fun way to peek in your minds as well ;)

For EXTRA entries, you can do the following:
2. Be a Facebook Fan and/or a reader of my blog (either by Google reader or e-mail subscription) and you get 1 extra entry.
3. If you spread the word about my giveaway, Etsy shop or Fanpage, you'll get 1 extra entry.

Just remember to list ALL the things you did in your comment, along with your answers and if you'd prefer the Inky Ladies or the Cupcakes. The Giveaway is open till September 1st (2012 hehe) and then I'll announce the winners. I'll create a permanent link in the sidebar that leads to this post as it will vanish slowly into my blog past as I will add new posts, plus I'll add a little reminder in every new post as well.

That's it! I'm so excited to see your answers ^_^

Ciao!

TJ's WIP: Dragons, Dragons, Dragons.

Staring post for you todaaaaaay!

Just like my Floating Rapunzel one, I kept track of how I painted my header on my FB page (hmm I think I need to switch up the one on my blog as well soon!). I painted lots of line-ups during that time and I still have a few planned. I found it a good way for me to pick a subject and experiment with how I would draw e.g. unicorns and create a fun image that could be turned into possible print. There are so many things to be captured on paper that I sometimes don't even know where to start.

A few lined-ups that I created so far are for sale in my Etsy store as well. Sooo get your favorite while you can, because I'm not sure if I'll prints available.

Hmm what else can I tell you? Not much to add I think. I always have the same routine when I create my art. Research - sketching (lots of sketching) - final sketch - inking - painting - final details - scanning - minor editing - done! That's it! However, if you have a specific question, just leave it in your comment ^_^.

 

Not a whole lot of pictures this time I FOUND MORE hidden in a folder ^_^! I really like the dragons and the pictures are scattered on my FB page, so I figured adding it in on post would be easier haha.

Have a lovely day!!

Ciao!

TJ's Shop: New goodies all around!

Hey Everyone!

It is...ETSY time ^_^  If you want to do a dramatic drop to the floor, because you think you missed your chance to tell me how you eat your cupcake...do not fear. You can still tell me how you eat your cupcake...

I have finally started to add new items to my shop and there will be more new items, TJ originals, soon. I'd really love to see them in a new home as they only collect dust in my folder. Here's a peek at some prints...

All prints are ready to be framed and signed by me and because I truly want to make an effort with my Etsy shop this time...I'll start it off with a fancy coupon: 15% off your order if you enter MAGICCUPCAKE upon check out. I gotta stay in the cupcake theme you know...

I haven't uploaded the originals yet as I had to wait for my fixative to arrive. They will be in my shop in the upcoming days. Here's a peek at them. Please excuse the crappy camera picture.

Please keep in mind that everything is limited (especially the originals hehe) and I only have 5 or less per item. So don't wait too long and get what you want now for presents, Mothers day, just because gifts, for yourself and so on. I really want all my prints and originals gone, so I can stock up on new things. However, if I get lots of messages about a particular print, I may stock up again.

Don't hesitate if you have questions about originals and prints okay? Also, if you know someone who would like this, feel free to pass it along.

That is it! You may start browsing now and I'll shall continue creating new work ^_^. A lot of the doodles you see on my Facebook page are for my portfolio and practicing new techniques. It's a lot of fun to see how you all respond to them and just want to say BIG THANK YOU for the support I get every single day!

Here's a peek at a new painting that I was working on. It's finished now.

Enjoy your day and till next time!!
