I don’t often do a mass emailing – but this is one of those exceptions. Here’s what I sent out:

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Super-Secret “Black Friday” sale!

Everyone’s doing it …so I’ve decided to join in!

If you’ve always wanted an artist-signed limited-edition print, but were afraid to ask, now’s the time. My website is too primitive to take discount codes (that’s another story… watch this space!)  so until midnight on December 3rd you’ll be able to find a special secret copy of my website where all the prices are 33% less – that’s right, 1/3rd off the usual prices for signed, limited edition art! That includes every image on the site!

All you need to find this strange alternative universe is the special URL:

http://absoluteblank.com/secret-sale/gallery.html

It’s a secret, but feel free to pass it on …only to people you deem worthy of a special deal, of course!

As ever, all prints are made using Epson K3 archival quality pigment inks and 100% cotton rag acid free papers from Hahnemule.  Every print is made, signed and numbered by me – larger sizes are in limited editions (see the site for details). The price includes a professional quality mat (all mat materials used are also 100% acid free and archival quality). Framing is up to you (ie not included), although I can also help with that if you need – just ask,

Ordering is handled by PayPal’s shopping cart so it’s 100% safe and you can use credit cards if you prefer.

Email me if you have questions or experience any problem.

Notecards:

Did you miss out on notecards last year? Fear not – they’re back! Six art quality notecards with envelopes for just $15! Woo hoo!

Calendars:

As some of you know, I make a limited edition calendar every year for my family and a few friends, with images that represent a new body of work each year. (If you are one of the people who usually get one, don’t worry, it’s on the way!)

For the rest of you, you too have a chance to own one this year! Due to the small quantities I print, the price is higher than a commercial calendar (although it should be less than $20, depending on volume). Just let me know your interest ASAP (in the next week or so), so I have numbers before I place my order with the printer. I’ll let you know the final price at that time.

My 2011 calendar will feature a series of images of wall surfaces which (to me) seem to be contemporary abstract paintings. I like them a lot and hope you will too. (Examples:)

Blog

I continue to post regularly to this blog, so PLEASE subscribe ( you can specify “news only” if you like). I don’t post often, so you won’t be spammed! For those who live on Facebook, everything on my blog gets copied over to my Facebook page. You just have to be my “fan”, to follow what I’m up to. (you can link to it directly from the logo on the right.).

Have a wonderful, safe holiday season!
