I love things that are funny, magical, pretty, glittery, wise, tasty, $1, & romantic. I've been thinking about contortionism.

Sam Spratt’s HOLIDAY EXPRESS Portrait Contest/Custom Portrait Giveaway!
It’s back. As thanks to you for following me here, As usual—I am giving one of you the chance to win a custom portrait from me. Free, no strings attached—it’s the holiday season so you may want to sacrifice your win to give someone you feel nice things towards something unique. The rules have slightly changed though so read on:
What You Get:
A Web-resolution (1100 pixel) custom portrait, tailored to your most bizarre of requests. You can get a very traditional portrait done or as outlandish as you can dream—so long as it remains in the portrait format. Zombies, Hipsters, Pirates, Ninjas, Superheroes, Robots, etc. are all fair-game themes in which you can have yourself transmogrified in painted form. Want to let me have free reign? That works too, but I want to make something unique for you.
