and a chance to tell tinypeople stories.

👋🏼 Hello, Insider!
Today is Day 10 of the 30 Days of Vancouver project. In this Sunday edition, I share last week’s giveaway rewards, this week’s fresh giveaway opportunity, and some Insider updates.
Thank you, Insiders, for supporting my work and being part of this journey with me.
🎉🍾 Week 1 Giveaway Results
I announced the winners of last week’s giveaway in the Friday post. Congratulations Peter Moore, Mary McCullough, and PamC!
Giveaways last week included an original SneakyArt drawing from me. I drew it yesterday at the Van Dusen Botanical Gardens.
The other two winners are receiving signed prints. For this, I looked through my work to select another moment in the sun from a few years ago, when I lived in Eau Claire (Wisconsin).
I made a 6 ft tall poster of this print for when I sold SneakyArt at the Artist’s Market in Eau Claire in 2019. Isn’t that a great way to attract customers? A couple of people were able to spot themselves on the poster, which earned them a special discount on my book!
🎁 Giveaway for Week 2
This week, I am making zines! For the curious, here is a simple way to make zines.
To win a little zine of SneakyArt, all you have to do is tell me a story:
💭 Step 1: Pick someone in the drawing below.
You can pick one of the people I have already labeled, or someone not labeled (yet). Give them your own label!
🔊 Step 2: Tell me a little story about them.
For example, the older person plant shopping in the bottom middle. I imagine he was sent out on an errand by his partner, to add a dash of green to their living room window. He was reluctant to go out in the cold, but is now enjoying his walk. Our homes can be like cocoons sometimes. Comfortable, but enclosing. We might need a push to go out, but we never regret it afterwards.
💬 Step 3: Participate in the comments.
Share your story in the comments section.
And while you’re there, if you see a story shared by another reader, add a line to it! I love the way stories grow when different people contribute to them.
I will be participating all week in the comment section myself, and I invite you to do the same.
I will select up to 5 winners at the end of the week, each of whom will receive a limited edition TinyPeople zine!
