Last week I wrote a review of the GoGoStand and since then I’ve been using my stand everyday (and I love it!!!!). I’m excited to announce that I now have 8 GoGoStands to giveaway to readers of The Design O’Blog!

HERE’S HOW TO ENTER

To enter you must live in the USA. Leave a funny and creative comment below stating why you would like a GoGostand. I will select 8 winners on Friday November 14th at 10pm EST and notify users shortly after that. If you don’t win fear not! You can head on over to the GoGoStand website and snag one for yourself for just $5!

I’m excited to be giving away some sweet stuff on my blog this week! I’m giving away 3  canvas prints of my Space mouse illustration along with 2,000 business cards.  Big thanks to Canvas on Demand and Print Runner for giving away their products!

About the Canvas Prints:

I’m sure you guys know that I dabble in illustration in my free time. I’ve illustrated my mouse charter in several different settings, but I’ve only seen my illustrations on a computer screen. This is why I’m super excited to be giving away 3 prints of my Space Mouse illustration! Canvas on Demand specializes in canvas prints in custom sizes. They also print photos on canvas as well in any size imaginable!

The prints are 11×16 with a 1.5inch gallery wrap. The illustration wraps around the sizes of the canvas that adds a nice touch and dimension to the piece. I was initially impressed by the thickness and sturdiness of the frame. The quality of the print is also really nice. I wasn’t sure what kind of quality to expect as I have never worked with printed canvas before. The frame is also easy to hang on a wall as it comes with one of those… uh…hangy things on the back!

About the Business cards from Print Runner:

Every designer needs business cards! (If you don’t think so you are crazy!) Print runner is offering to give 2 Readers 1,000 business cards each! Cards are printed on a 14pt card stock with a durable UV coating. They also have handy templates with bleed lines and safe areas set up for you!
