April 20, 2011 at 10:45 amYes! A fantastic giveaway and good press for an amazing illustrator/artist. I posted the giveaway and Bliss’s work on my blog here http://whirringandwhistling.blogspot.com/2011/04/jill-bliss.html and tweeted / facebooked the link to my friends and followers. I’m happy to see Bliss’ work as the hole in my own creative process that sometimes forgets the natural world, but is trying (after moving from the city to a more rural town) to attune itself to nature and natural settings.
