Submitted by  Teoh Yi Chie on  June 9, 2009 - 12:21 pm

This contest is now closed. Thanks for the participation!

It has been a long time since the last contest.

This giveaway is made possible by readers — You! — who bought books through the Amazon links on my blog. I've finally saved enough to organize two this month. Don't miss both!

Guidelines

  • You'll need a delicious.com account, or sign up for a free one.
  • Bookmark* Parka Blogs homepage on delicious.com using this link.
  • Tag your bookmark with these keywords:
    animation illustration concept art books artbooks
  • Choose one art book as your prize from the list of eleven below.
  • One winner will be chosen randomly.
  • The deadline for this giveaway is midnight (GMT time) of 16th June 2009.
  • Make sure that you fill your e-mail in the comment field correctly so that I can contact you afterward.
  • This giveaway is only for USA participants currently.

*If you've already bookmarked my blog before this giveaway, just post your delicious.com account name together with your selected art book in the comment.

Other notes

In case you don't know, delicious.com is a online bookmarking website. It's a great place to find interesting websites (hopefully mine) bookmarked by other people. I use it all the time, especially useful in the office when trying to access websites I bookmarked at home.

Currently, 34 people have bookmarked Parka Blogs. On the deadline, I'll do some math to see if all the bookmarks add up. If they don't, I'll have to rollover the art books to the next giveaway. So don't comment without bookmarking, it won't work.

Giveaways in the future will open to readers from other countries. It's just that I want to spend it on the books than on shipping with my limited funds this month.

It will also help tremendously if you promote this giveaway on your blog, or even link to my blog from your sidebar. After all, this giveaway is made possible by readers and supporters. Thanks very much if you do so!

Good luck!

Hey Parka,

though from germany and therefore not able to participate, I bookmarked your great blog nonetheless!

Keep up the good work. Your site is a regular and heavy dose of inspiration.

Hallo Parka!
Great contest idea, gotta spread the love for the art books. (Your blog alone put a serious dent in my bank account) My account name for delicious is "lesnemo", and I would like the Art of Up! :D
Thank you!

Oh, I don't live in US. Maybe next time...

Parka, I often buy books that you review here, but I usually don't buy straight away. I click on your Amazon link and save it on my wishlist for later. Am I helping you doing this or would be better if I only click on your link when I'm finishing the buying?

Teoh Yi Chie Wed, 10 Jun 2009 - 10:03

Thanks for the new bookmarks, everyone!

Alex - I think it works only if you click the links on the same day you buy the books. Thanks for the support.

Thanks for sharing these book reviews with the rest of the community. Our local bookstore / Library seldom get Art Books I'm interested in so I'm glad I'm able to see you flip through some of these books before making a purchase. :)

I'm Hadoland on delicuous, and I'd really like to try for "The Art of UP"

If it is, that's cool too. I would've bookmarked this site anyway.
