"Great Big Humongus Giveaway"

Though I'm still a rookie blogger, I have discovered there are similarities between the blogging world and riding the bus. Inevitably you strike up a conversation with someone that asks where you're from and then asks "Do you know my cousin Fred? He only lives 45 miles away from you." Not sure why but Canadians (particularly those from the prairies) get this all the time.

So through my very talented cousin's blog, I became acquainted with Rick, an artist/doodler of no small talent. Turns out he lives in my neck of the West Coast (as opposed to her eastern side of the continent) and she wondered if we knew each other. In fairness, she too understood the travelers-on-the-bus connection before she asked. The answer was Nope. But after checking out his blog, I can certainly say I hope to some day. I've enjoyed his artwork and even shared some of it with you here and here.

But here's the exciting news! Rick is giving away a doodle-of-your-choice to celebrate his blogging anniversary! He's also offering a free caricature to some lucky poster! (No, not the paper on the wall, the commenter-on-the-blog type.) And you can sign up to win too!

To find out more visit the "Great Big Humongus Giveaway" and pit your name against mine in the drawing. Don't get left watching the bus pull out of the station though - tomorrow is the last day to enter.

Well, I only asked because I didn't know HOW Rick had found my blog - and I still don't.

But I entered the contest!

Well, I love it that you asked and laughed at the way you asked. I'm glad you did 'cause I've enjoyed his work.

Maybe that's why its called "the web" - we all get tangled together at some point...
