I am giving away all my leftover Christmas Cards over at d'Arteboard.com. No Shipping & Handling or other commitments required.

As they say, however, supplies are limited.  I will make as many more as I can to satisfy demand, but the earlier you respond the more likely you'll get one. 

Here's a sample of one of the additional pieces I'm giving away (others can be seen at the blog linked above):

(Da-Do, I'll save one for you since you already mentioned it).

As of a few weeks ago, some artist friends and I begun a new blog collectively to show off our wares, talk shop, and showcase some other art related things we're interested.  The idea is that, while each of us might struggle to come up with enough posts to keep a blog active enough to be worth visiting regularly, all of us together can provide enough content to entertain more regularly. 

The result is http://www.darteboard.com.

Or, if you'd like the banner version:

Each of us 6 members is required to post once a week, but any of us can post as often as we like or have time for.  The lineup is as follows:

Monday: Daniel Allyn "Happy Cloud" Lee

Tuesday: Me

Wednesday: Toni "Bunnie" Tiller

Thursday: Tom "Bats" Bennett

Friday: Jason "Jason" Grey

Saturday: Steph "My last name is hard to spell" Gerolimatos

Sunday: A day of rest and reflection

Anyways, because I am required to post more frequently over there than I have managed here, my attention will be shifting there.  Please visit the new site, comment and let us know if there's anything else we can provide to improve it.
