Ok, so what's the best part about art?
Sharing it.
I dunno about you but I like sharing things.

And the best thing about post (well mail, to you silly americans and such. it's post.) is recieving something. I LOVE getting letters and parcels and things. The annoying thing is that nowadays you have to pay for something and physically order something to get the "WHEE I HAVE THINGS!" feeling. (Ok, maybe I'm the only one who actually gets THAT excited, but recieving gifts is always nice.)

So, whats the deal?
Art trades, Anonymous art trades.

You give us an address, but not your name. and you'll receive an address in return to post your gift art to. Make something nice, send it with love. And wait patiently by the letterbox in your tent with your box of cookies for your very own random deviant to send you your lovely artwork to frame and put in pride of place on your wall and love it forever!!

There are some rules. Obviously.
:bulletpurple: Send a note titled "Anonymous Art" to PirateLotus-Stock (she's the one who is on top of things, I'm just here to look pretty XD and shout alot) The note should contain your full address, including country, but not your name. Also, include a couple of things you're interested in. A little like this:
"1 Random Street
Blahstown
Specialcounty
Englondshire
United Kingdom
SP1 SH1

Interests: Foxes, fantasy, sci-fi, bubbles."

:bulletpurple: When you send a note to participate in this art trade, you MUST be willing to post some art to whosever address you get, whether that deviant is in the same country as you or not. It's not fair to join just to get things, and not to give anything.

:bulletpurple: When you are sending your art, we have figured that some postmen/women are silly (at least Erin's is XD) and baulk at lack of names sometimes. So we strongly recommend using the word "Current Occupier" or "Current Resident" instead of a name on your package. the reason why we aren't giving out people's names and usernames should be obvious.

:bulletpurple: If you are 16 years of age or under, you should get parental permission before giving in your address.

:bulletpurple: Art must adhere to DeviantArt policies (i.e. no porn. Reasons should be obvious, you don't know whether you're getting an older or a younger deviant.)

:bulletpurple: you can use any viable medium you can think of, a little sculpture creature, a knitted zombie, a print of a photomanipulation (i would print it nicely if I were you not just on your usual paper using a humdrum printer.) or the usual traditional mediums.

:bulletpurple: Package it sensibly! You don't want your random deviant recieving damaged goods.

:bulletpurple: we are taking participants up until the 6th February. Send your note with your addy to PirateLotus-Stock before 9pm US Central time

:bulletpurple: You will be informed of your random deviant by the 8th. You then have til the 3rd March to post your art trade to your random deviant!

Finally. Have fun with it!


Any questions either myself or PirateLotus-Stock are here to be harrassed ;) :P



I LIEK DRAGONS!! *fingers crossed*

Suuuuuuuch a great idea. I totally know what you mean too about getting something random in the... uh... "post'.
Which sounds weird. Though we do call them 'Post Offices'. Are they called Mail Offices in the UK?

I digress.
