Win My Header Art from Gardening Gone Wild

If you head over to the ever so popular Gardening Gone Wild blog, you'll notice a clean and user friendly layout and an illustration of a Passiflora incarnata rambling all over the header. I'm incredibly proud to say that not only is this is my illustration, but that I'll also be giving it away along with a few other goodies! Who wants to win some free stuff?

One Lucky Winner Will Receive




1. Two Passionflower Illustrations

These are the illustrations that were used to create the passionflower header at GGW: One is a drawing of a stem with tendrils and two leaves, and the other is a drawing of the flower against a leaf. (The leaf background was omitted in the final illustration)

2. Five Fun Fruit Drawings

These were the drawings I used for my post: Five Exotic Fruits Ripe for Dessert. These were drawn in the decidedly more playful style that I sometimes use for spot illustrations.

3. A Copy of My New Book

The book I'm writing for Cool Springs Press will feature fifty artistically arranged container combinations for the indoor garden, along with growing instructions for each unique houseplant combo. It might not have a name yet and it won't be released until Spring of 2014, but I will send the winner a copy as soon as it's printed!

4. An Urszula Dudek Notecard

The bonus prize is a notecard by Urszula Dudek, the premier artist of tropical plants! While my artwork is best described as illustration with most drawings taking just a few hours to complete, Urszula Dudek is a fine artist of the highest caliper and spends days rendering her large paintings in painstaking detail.

(I finally got to see Urszula and her paintings in person at the International Bromeliad Conference in Orlando this weekend, and my wife and I were just entranced by her incredibly rich and detailed large scale bromeliad paintings. I highly reccommend that you check out her work and buy a print for yourself at her Fine Art America site.) 

Here's How to Win!
