Thought I'd fill you in on a chance to win a piece of art featured in my latest book, Dusty Diablos.  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:
Pretty much go to the following link...fill it out and you are in the running.  Of course it wouldn't break my heart if you bought the book too!

What do you have to lose?  Free art is free art!

I'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.

Sadly, 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!

Ooohh, 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.
