Swag, Treasure, Give-aways, Freebies….

Written by Robert Stockham

Call it what you will, many of the blogs that I read these days are giving stuff away. I can see a bandwagon, so this is one that I am jumping on! I am going to give away limited edition prints from my inventory. Inventory of what? I am a photographer. Check out my art site. As of late, I have had precious little time to pursue my artistic desires and to commit the energy necessary to put on shows. Still, I have a good sized inventory in stock and thought I would share it with those of you who read my blog.  Additionally, I have some other goodies that I am going to give away. I have never tried to do a contest before, but here goes.

The object is simple. Subscribe to my blog. Write a comment on the post with the giveaway. I will draw a name from a hat. I send you the prize. Easy, right? Tell your friends. Ready? Let’s go!

Today I am giving away a limited edition black and white, silver emulsion print. It is an 8×10 matted and mounted print. I just sat this on the scanner, and set the resolution very low, so the print looks better in person. I took this picture of a man who was walking downtown under some scaffolding. Comment now.

Do your friends a favor and share this with them!

    Nothing like an art giveaway to kick start a neglected hobby/passion. Life always gets in the way of the things worth doing it seems. Good for you Robert!

    I love this photo, the composition is beautiful!

    I must thank Jake for sending me the links to your sites. I could have sworn I’ve heard the name before, would I have seen your work anywhere?

    I think a give a way is a great marketing tool to spread the word, and I love checking out new photographers, I wish I had the talent.

    I have had shows around Cleveland. A few years ago, I had 5 or 6 shows up at the same time. Small galleries and coffee shops and the like. That is why I am clearig out my inventory!

  9. [...] the tradition of Bridget Ginley’s Free Art Fridays Great Lakes Green Pages is giving away art from time to time. I still have a wonderful Cleveland print that I got from Bridget [...]
