...and do you fancy an Art Raffle?

I'm been thinking about holding a monthly art raffle in which I give away original art and prints etc to subscribers to my newsletter

This will require some extra administrative output from my end (which I always aim to keep to a minimum!) but I'm happy to do it if there's enough interest

If you think this is a good idea and if it's something you'd be interested in entering (it'll be free, by the way...) then simply enter "Raffle Good Idea" or "Raffle Thumbs Up" or any kind of raffle related phrase in the comments box below so I'll know what you think...

So let me know what you think, and I'll look forward to reading your comments!
