FREE ORIGINAL SKETCHES

All you need is 30 Facebook Friends.  No need to make any sort of purchase.

I need help spreading the word about Mili Fay Art.  If you like what I'm doing, and if you would love to have an original sketch, all you need to do is get 30 of your friends to "Like" my page, but they must want to like it.  I do not wish to force anyone to "Like" something they do not.

If your friends like my page, they need to let me know who you are, so I can count the "Likes".

The moment you reach 30 "Likes", I will let you know.  You take a look at the available sketches (new sketches will be added continuously).  Write your Username in the comments under the sketch and the sketch is yours.

Sample Sketch

So, if you are willing to try this:

1. Send me a message on Mili Fay Art's Facebook Page in the following format: "I am (Username), and I would like to support Mili Fay Art with 30 Likes."   Pick a Username that is unique, because

2. When your "Friend" likes my page, he/she needs to send me a message saying: "I Like your page, (Username) recommended you to me."  This way I will know that that "Like" is the result of your efforts.

3. The moment you reach 30 Likes, I will contact you through Facebook (your Facebook account should be able to receive messages, if not, please e-mail your your e-mail address with your Username at info@artofmili.ca).

4. Pick the sketch you like, by writing your Username in the comments (you can only do this if 30 of your "Friends" have already "Liked" my page) and I will mail you the sketch.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for your help in advance.

P.S. I'll be working on the "Available Sketches" Album, but until then you can check out my Facebook Page to see the kind of sketching I do (just scroll through the timeline--if a drawing has no colour it is most likely as sketch), or you can see the available "Animals In My Hair" sketches here.

Let me know and you may just find it posted on my blog.

*All except "Horsing Around Limited Edition Prints".  These prints are limited edition and created to raise funds for local children's hospital, therefore they will never have a discount.

"Animals In My Hair"--Story: Video

It is better to show than to explain.  Therefore, I have decided to create a few videos to show "Animals In My Hair."  This first is a ~ 4 min video of me reading the beginning of the book.  Hope you like it!

Toronto Indue Arts Market Tomorrow!!!

For the first time ever, I will have a bit of a table at TIAM. So, excited!!! I have also come up with the idea of creating Mini-Prints, ~ 5" x 4" in size, these are the most popular of prints I have ever posted online, but I printed them on card stock, so they can be used instead of greeting cards as well.

I don't know why I didn't come up with the idea before?

The idea came to me, because I was worried that my merchandise was too pricy for bargain events and I wanted to create something that people will enjoy for $5.

So, what do you think? Have you created something of the kind yourself?

MILI FAY ART NEWSLETTER

Yes, I have created a newsletter that I have just sent out to the people who have signed up for a newsletter.  Being a fledgling, I hope it does well and does not cause any disasters along the way.  You may subscribe to these newsletters by sending your name and e-mail address you would like me to use to subscribe@artofmili.ca.

You should do this, because I do send coupons, freebie artwork, and other PERKS with every newsletter (I do not much like that word PERKS, can anyone think of anything else I can use?).  You may get the same on this blog, or Facebook, but you can be sure to get everything if you sign up for a newsletter.  At least, I think that is a purpose of a newsletter.  Isn't it?

Of course I do add a some news about what I'm up to, and I post places where I will be at if you wish to meet me and purchase artwork from me (thereby avoiding shipping costs).

So, without further ado...

MILI FAY ART NEWSLETTER!!!
(Any comments and suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. So, what do you think?)

MILI FAY ART NEWSLETTER

"Together we support the world one artwork at a time."

First, I would like to thank everyone who came out on the very cold September 22nd day to support The Word On The Street festival.  Though I managed to catch cold in spite of ingesting a vast quantity of warm liquids throughout the day, I had a wonderful time meeting some fantastic new people.  Some of these people were kind enough to sign up for Mili Fay Art Perks, which are delivered through the format of this Newsletter (at the bottom of the letter of course, so feel free to skip ahead), or can be found mostly on Mili Fay Art's Facebook Page, and sometimes Blogger.

(For some reason the Facebook Page is where my Internet presence is most consistent these days.)

Anyway, to all the new people: "Welcome!"

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me anytime through this e-mail or at: info@artofmili.ca.

MILI FAY ART NEWS:

Toronto Indie Arts Market is this Saturday, October 12th at the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street West).  Mili Fay Art will be there.  It is not too early to think of Christmas presents, so come along and check out more amazing local vendors.  If you show up between 10:30am and 11am, you entrance is free.  Otherwise: $5.  For more information: link

Since it is early October, it is time to think about Christmas Holidays and Presents!!! If you wish to commission an artworkfrom Mili Fay Art, now is the time to do so.  Creating original art can take anywhere from a few days, to a few months, so if you want the artwork to be ready for Christmas and other winter holidays, you need to contact me as soon as possible. Commissions work on the first-come-first-serve basis.  No exceptions.

Mili Fay Art continues to work towards fulfilling my vision of using artwork to support worthy organisations.  At the moment, I'm very busy trying to recreate my official website (www.artofmili.ca), set up a new shop with Shopify (www.shop.artofmili.ca--which should be up and running as soon as I get through what feels like hundreds of pages of paperwork and contracts), as well as finishing a backlog of work.  Yes, I admit it, I am behind, but to be fair I did not expect to loose three weeks in Europe for a wedding, nor did I expect to be sick with cold/flu for two weeks upon my return.  As a result of this delay, AIMH Monthly Art contest is postponed until further notice.  

For those of you who are in Toronto, and wish to avoid astounding shipping costs, you can find "Animals In My Hair" at Market Jolly, 326 Marlee Ave. Toronto, Ontario, M6B 3HS.  Tel: (416) 785-0002.  They are located a short walk away from Glencairn Subway station.  Just make sure you call ahead to insure the item is in stock.  Then, grab a friend, get the book, and enjoy the fabulous foods you cannot find anywhere else.  

PERKS:

Toronto Indie Arts Market

1. Print this coupon to get 15% OFF all Mili Fay Art products.  One coupon/order/customer.

2. I've decided to create Mini-Prints (I'm thinking ~6" x 4") of my artwork, and sell them for $5 each.  Great stocking stuffers. First 10 people to hand me a slip of paper with "Mini-ME" written on it at Toronto Indie Arts Market will get a free print of their choice.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Until next time, and wishing you all the best,

Mili Fay
