Meet the Artist and Giveaway: Linda from Pool Pony

Are ready for ANOTHER giveaway? I thought so!

This time I've teamed up with Pool Pony
who has graciously agreed to offer one lucky winner

1. A set of 3 postcards:
pool pony postcard set - pack of 6 eco friendly matte postcards
Buy it here
AND

2. A print:
mid century inspired, art print, happy bird. small giclée print
Buy it here
Don't you just love it? I really love mine :)
Linda sent me this awesome print, 
not even knowing I'm obsessed with owls!

night owl - mid century design art print 5 x 7 inches
Buy it here
I know you want to see more, so head on over and check out Pool Pony for yourselves.
In the mean time, let's find out more about their shop :) 

Q: Tell us a little about how Pool Pony came to be.
A: Some friends were decorating their new house, and asked me to design some artwork for them. Over a period of weeks I became more and more engrossed in the project, and the drafts mounted up. These pieces formed the beginnings of pool pony.

Q: What three words would you use to describe your style?
A: Mid-century modern inspired


Q: Why Etsy?
A: Etsy is a very accessible way to present your work for sale online to lots of people. It also has a great community feel to it which I enjoy.

Q: Do you have any advice for new sellers?
A: I think it's very important for artists to do what they love, and not try to pander to what they think the market wants. And I also think that good customer service is important - after all, making contact with people and getting their feedback  is a very enjoyable part of selling online.
 Q: Anything new in the works?
A: Heaps! I have lots of unfinished pieces which I'll revise and adjust and fiddle with until I'm happy with them, so I'll be continuing to add new pieces to the shop. I'm also very close to being able to make larger prints which will be very exciting!

Q: Just for fun, what is your favorite treasury you've been included in?
A: I'm always delighted by the number of talented curators there are in the etsy community, but if I have to pick just one, I would choose this recent one.

mid century design, modern art, print, pea pods, 12 x 18 inch, giclée print.
Buy it here
Not only is Linda giving away some really amazing products, she offering an exclusive discount code, too! 

For a limited time, use the code PONY10 at checkout 
to receive 10% off your entire purchase! 

When you're all done shopping, don't forget to head on back
