Free Friday winners

Only one, because Nick Bocchino was the only person to get the answer this time.

It was 'Dear Foonty, Love Trowl' and was penned by ol Dave Carnie.

Nick gets the big bird head!

Holiday Newsletter

Hello there,
and welcome to the Kauffman Artistry Holiday Newsletter.
I hope your turkey or tofurkey consumption was unrivalled.

Got a few shows coming up I'd like to share with you-

I'm sending off a few pieces to Double Punch today for a KILLER group show.
Its Ryan De La Hoz's last effort as curator, so be sure to check it out if you're in the bay area.
Email them if you want to see a preview!
This is will be my first time showing in the bay in several years.

I have a few different holiday showings around Denver-
this Thursday and the 16th I'll have a table at Beauty Bar hawking goods for Fabric Lab's After Hours Holiday Market.
This is gonna be wicked fun- cheap drinks, manicure specials for you ladies, and goods from local artists and designers.
Ill have shirts, prints, drawings and more, come visit.
Friday I'll have some pieces at Indy Ink for Huth's last show as curator- all work will be under 100, cash and carry for the holidays.
Next Saturday Chris Huth, John Fellows, the Pruitts and myself will have some new work up at Mod Livin-
Here are two of those works- http://bit.ly/mJB2O

January I'll be showing twice in LA-
bird show early January at Cactus Gallery
and the 27th I'll be showing a piece at Cannibal Flower, and will be out there painting live!

If you're in Chicago this weekend check out the Ustorm annual acoustic show w Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger-
I donated a few paintings to their raffle, support the kids!

I'll be putting up a few smaller originals and some new shirts in the store- keep your eyes peeled.
Enter the code 'holidaysituationtime' and get 20% off any purchase!

Lastly, another edition of Free Friday. This one is going to be drawn next week, to allow research time.
Winner gets Avian Ponder- a piece from a few years back-2x4 feet! 2nd place gets an original drawing.
3rd place gets the print 'Flight Control' and 4th place gets a silkscreen of Birding in Egypt.

This week's question-
Big Brother magazine was a........slightly risky skateboard magazine that went defunct about a decade ago. Within the pages, there were all sorts hidden ramblings, stories, and tips in lieu of captions. Every issue had a 'love letter' on the contents page where the fine legalese should have been.
Who was it always to and from? Bonus question- what real person wrote these? Answering the bonus question will get you an extra entry.
Email the answer of this question to kauffmanartistry@gmail.com.

Thanks for the support, and have a good season of Channuka/xmas/kwanzaa/et al.

Best,
Max

shows

I currently have a few small pieces up at Slice Gallery in Denver- come visit at 4318 Tennyson St.
Next week 'Retrostatic' opens in Des Moines IA at Instinct Gallery. I'll have a few different metroid paintings available there.
Next month I'm part of an EPIC show at Double Punch, curated by Mr Ryan De La Hoz. I think its his last show at Double Punch, and its a doozy.
I'll be mailing out 3 pieces for that. Closer to home, I am showing a bit in December in town- friends show at Mod Living(me, Fellows, Huth, the Pruitts) and at a holiday market or two.

This month 303 is putting out an art board with some of my paintings emblazoned on the bottom, and Indy Ink is releasing a new shirt (Fade). Both are a run of 100 available together and seperate. The first 25 packages will come with a limited edition screenprint. Stay tuned for more on this.

Putting out a few new prints this week of paintings from 2009.

Find them Wednesday in my Etsy shop.

Finally, for the last few months I've been doing a giveaway called 'Free Friday'.
Free art? yes. Free fun? yes. How, you ask?

Aswering a trivia question gets you entered into a raffle where you can win original art!
I'm going to be switching up the giveaway to be just once a month, but w more enticing prize.
If you want to play, this week's winner will recieve 'One is Never Enough' a painting from 2008.
2nd AND 3rd place get an original drawing,and there will now be a 4th place that gets a mystery print.
