I don't use this blog to microblog... that often

architectureofdoom:

Dead Cities is an eerily beautiful publication by French artist Guillaume Greff documenting the architecture of Jeoffrécourt, an artificial town of 5,000 imaginary inhabitants in Northern France. As one of several generic urban environments designed by the French military in order to achieve excellence in warfare skills, Jeoffrécourt boasts a variety of architectures, from suburban homes, housing blocks, abandoned factories, to churches and mosques, not to mention specialized components like firing ranges and trained personnel that double as opposing forces and civilians. In his unsparing photographs Greff captures an uncannily pristine, yet ultimately desolate and miserable urban environment, built with the intention of neutralizing rather than sustaining human life.

Hi everyone!!! This is an art supplies giveaway for me reaching an amount of followers I said I’d do a giveaway at!

Here are the things you’ll be getting, as you can see from the photo!

• 6” by 10” Sketchbook for both wet and dry media
• A bottle of ink, you pick the color, I’ll order it from a specific site
• A fountain pen that comes with the ink from the same site
• 11 colors of Cotman Winsor & Newton watercolors
• 3 brushes
• A drawing of a subject of your choice to go on the first page! You might want to check my art out if you’re unfamiliar with me to see what types of things I usually do

And that’s that.  I don’t use any of those watercolor tubes anymore, as I’ve replaced them each with higher quality tubes, so I thought: why not give them away?  And I like the fountain pen I’ve been using so much that I think I’d like someone else to try it, too.  I’ve also replaced the three brushes I’ve included here, so I don’t need those, either.  And a drawing for good measure.

Here are the rules! Please follow these:

• No giveaway blogs.  I want more people to actually see this and have a chance at getting something; a lot of artists don’t have a lot of money…
• Reblogs enter you, and a Like helps.  You can’t just like - but you can do both to double your chances of just reblogging (if it falls on someone who liked it, I’ll check to see if they reblogged it)
• I’ll be checking the blog that wins to see if you’re an active blog.
• You gotta use these after they arrive! I obviously can’t enforce this, but I want to see people not being timid! Make art! That’s what these are for.  I know a thing that stops a lot of people is being scared they’ll mess up and waste expensive supplies… but if this is a gift, that shouldn’t matter!
• This ends on May 24th. If I send an ask and you don’t respond within 2 days, I’ll ask the next person, and so on.
• I will ship anywhere. I’ll pay the shipping.
  

I think that’s everything.  Have fun!!! Good luck!

Have you ever looked at a piece of art and wanted to be different, wanted to be the sort of person who could own that art and be owned by it?
