Borders is doing a sweepstakes to promote the book and the winner receives an original piece of art. Here's the piece. it is from the Anima Sola (Lonely Soul) chapter of the book, which is a common image you see in Mexico, representing the soul in purgatory.
Here is the version I did for the book
and a detail
it was based on this nicho built into the side of the Catedral in Mexico City
so if you want to win the Anima Sola piece featured in the book this is the skinny:

ReplyDeleteHey Michael, i entered the contest!
ReplyDeletei love love love your work, and am so inspired! can't wait to get into the studio today!
i live in northern california-any workshops nearby?
Nice to run into your at Artfest. Looks like another cool book.
ReplyDeleteI've already got both your books and a DVD of an online class. I'm now looking for a "story" to build my own ideas around. Thank you for being so generous with your techniques.
ReplyDeletei have your book and am on my way to mexico
ReplyDeleteSadly, this contest seems to be for legal US residents and not for legal Canadian residents. I did print the Borders coupon to save the 5 bucks next time I cross the border. The book is not available in Canada until later this year. At least the dollar is at par!
ReplyDeleteOoohh, I hope I win!! The Chamsa piece that I bought from you in Puerto Vallarta needs some company! Have been making stuff since your amazing workshop and feeling very inspired and confident thanks to you! Of course, I bought my treasured copy of Dusty Diablos as soon as I returned.
