[ THE DRIFTER and the GYPSY ]: GIVEAWAY: A Collection a Day

GIVEAWAY: A Collection a Day - Advanced copy CLOSED

Thursday, March 10, 2011

By now, you've probably heard of Lisa Congdon's A Collection a Day project - it's made quite the blog and magazine rounds. If not, read this post and you'll know all about it by the end.

With the end of 2009 approaching, Lisa quested to find a new and challenging creative project for the upcoming year. As an ardent collector, she came up with A Collection a Day. For 365 days (from january 1st, 2010 to december 31st, 2010), she photographed and blogged one of her collections or drew/painted an imagined collection. This project got a huge amount of reception, both online and in print, which eventually landed her a book deal with Uppercase. And that's exactly what we're giving away today: Lisa Congdon's A Collection a Day book. What makes this giveaway even more special? The book doesn't come out until the end of March, so this giveaway is for an advanced copy.
