All the (scheduled) posting on Social Media about this has finally come to a close, and the new website has launched. This is very exciting for me, as it is the beginning of a new start for my focus on horror art. Launch day is also the day I announce the winners of the giveaways on Facebook and Instagram!
I'll tell you about the giveaway further down in this post. In the meantime, please, have a look around, and tell me what you think of the new site! And definitely please tell me if you find something wrong, or something I missed!
Subscribers should have received this blog post in their email. This is a different way for my to communicate with you, rather than the direct emails I previously sent when the website hadn't launched yet. I hope you like this method!
I really like the aesthetic of this new website; I even made a new painting specifically to be the background.
Ok, ok, I know. I didn't re-launch the online shop with this new website. That was planned. I wanted to be able to take a break, to clear out all of the old art and merchandise from my mind (and my house). I also wanted to be able to take my time to re-evaluate what I actually want to sell or provide as a service, and everything that comes with that such as the packaging, contracts, and admin.
Right now, my priority is making new artwork and building up my new portfolios. I have so many new ideas, but I think I'll get into those in a different blog post!
And now for the horror art giveaway winners!
There was a first and second place for both Facebook and Instagram, selected by random draw. Four winners!
I have sent messages to the winners but it was done via my website, so be sure to check your junk mail (and please let me know if the emails didn't work!).
Please note, these winners are subject to change if for some reason they don't accept their prize or it otherwise falls through. So keep your eyes peeled, just in case!
Second place: Lisa-Dean Gallagher
First place: Alex Macale
Second place: Daisy Sanchez
First place: Megan Helm (note, this post has been edited as this prize had to be redrawn)
Congratulations! The first place winners have won:
a custom A5 artwork
a print of their choice (of my prints available)
a t-shirt of their choice (of my t-shirts available)
a selection of small merch.
The second place winners have won:
a print of their choice (of my prints available)
a t-shirt of their choice (of my t-shirts available)
a selection of small merch.
The people who were originally drawn for first place didn't complete the all-important step of subscribing. I tried contacting them to give them a chance to sign-up but was unsuccessful. So, I want to give another shout-out to all the people who support me by subscribing, it can pay off!
Spot prizes
I also plan on looking through the entries to give out some spot prizes. Since you've made it this far, I'm willing to do a few extra ones here! If you comment on this post (make it good!) and it catches my attention, I might just send you some small bits of merch. Sorry, this is only for my New Zealand followers!
Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who has subscribed for updates!
It's all looking really good! The background is probably one of my fave pieces of yours!
