The Peach Fuzz foreign book giveaway contest is officially closed. Thanks to everyone who participated! The winners of the Peach Fuzz vol 1 Portuguese edition, selected at random are...

I'll be contacting those of you listed above for an address to ship your prize.

Speaking of contests, I have a big one this month that comes coupled with an equally big announcement about my new how-to-draw book! So without further ado, I'm proud to announce the upcoming release of Draw Furries - How to Create Anthropomorphic and Fantasy Animals, written and illustrated by me and Lindsay Cibos!



In a nutshell, Draw Furries goes over drawing anthropomorphic and animal characters. It's 128 full-color pages, covering step-by-step anatomy, poses, and species-specific details (wings, tails, eyes...) for feline, canine, equine, rodent and avian characters, plus coloring and backgrounds! The book also includes a bonus guest gallery featuring art by the very talented Bara-chan, Kelly Hamilton, CookingPeach aka Miu, and Makime!

The book comes out the beginning of December. I'm currently taking pre-orders for signed copies of the book through my website (also includes bonus freebies like our promo postcards for this season ^^).

So about that contest. I'm giving away one copy of Draw Furries: How to Create Anthropomorphic and Fantasy Animals! Here's how to enter. It's very simple. All you have to do is link to this journal entry (on your blog, website, twitter, facebook, etc.) to help spread the word about Draw Furries, and then e-mail LCibos@jaredandlindsay.com with the link to your post, and you're entered in the drawing! The contest ends November 30th. Thanks and good luck!

(Note to international readers: I don't mind shipping internationally, but due to the increased costs of shipping overseas, if you live outside the US or Canada, you'll have to cover the cost of shipping if you win. Sorry!)
