Season's Greetings!

I was in sunny California for Thanksgiving.
Straight after I was wandering about Santa Monica's Third Street in my shorts since it was nice and warm.
It felt quite weird to see people panhandling singing carols, and more Christmas music piping out of all the storefronts.

Now at least it's snowing back here in Santa Fe.
I'm feeling festive now, so here's my holiday card for this year!

Happy Holidays from Steve Worthington's Winged Angel Sprightly and Winged Angel Pugnacious!

And the winner is...!

Well my guess the weight of the chubby artist contest is now over, and we have 2 winners!





Since the start of the year, thanks to my austerity fridge, I've lost a bit over 20 lbs and coasted a bit lately, languishing under 200 lbs for the last couple of months.
So I'm the first winner.

The second winner guessed closest to my final weigh-in on Aug 1st.
I was 199.4 lbs so congratulations to Hockey Rules who won with 198.8
It could have gone any one of four ways, but Meridee and I shared a chicken vindaloo the other night, and after a bit of wine I ate all the leftover rice so that was that!

My downward slide (hopefully still plenty more downward sliding to go...!)

So get in touch to claim your prize!

Any one of my winged angel mice.

Just-for-fun d-CON billboard designs using my bronze mice...

Just-for-fun billboard idea for d-CON using my bronze mice

Lee and I have often quipped how great my angel mice would be for d-CON ads, so I put my art director's hat on and came up with a few pretend billboards just for the fun of it!

 Afer all those years spent drawing up other people's ideas, sometimes it's fun to do some just for myself!

I wonder what d-CON would think of them?!

Personally, when I trap mice, I prefer to catch them alive and re-locate them all in one piece.

Another just-for-fun billboard idea for d-CON starring my bronze mice

Photographing them was fun, as was messing about with them in Photoshop afterwards.
So that's how I spent my Easter Sunday afternoon and into the evening!

Here's a 'making of' pic, and my one art director sketch after checking out a bunch of photo's without Winged Angel Sprightly standing on tippy toes (I had to bend his tail down to get him to do that).

Photographing a set up I only ended up using half of

Win a bronze Winged Angel Mouse...x2!

Angel Chubby (no patina yet, will be silver colored)

Angel Pugnacious (no patina yet, will be silver colored)

Winged Angel Sprightly (no patina yet, will be silver colored)
OK, here we go again!

Oh yes, it's time once more for 'guess the weight of the chubby artist after he's had yet another try at shifting some lard'...

Right, I've tried it twice before. And if you guessed during my earlier attempts that after 6 months I'd weigh about the same as when I started, or perhaps a bit more, you might have won!

Of course there's always the possibility that the third time will be the charm.
Plus I have my secret weapon, which I didn't have before...



This time I have my very own tiny fridge, for instant retrieval of ingredients to create my tiny feeds.
No hunting around the swirling morass of confusion and temptation that abounds in the regular fridge...
...I'm using the austerity fridge.

Pretty much all my austerity feeds will be looking something like this...
That's not dandruff on the plate, it's cheese (the rest is inside the wonderfully appetizing looking eggbeater blanket).

I kicked off on Jan 1st at a svelte 220.4 lbs with a cold and immediately gained a couple of pounds.
But then I got my fridge, and with it, my edge.
Did I lose any after that?
I'm not telling!

So roll up and place your bets!

Well, bet singular actually, since you can only have one guess.


Here's the RULES...

Winning the first Winged Angel Mouse...

Make your guess as to what I will weigh on the first of August.

Enter by leaving a comment on this post (BEFORE MARCH 1st) with your guess, or email me (BEFORE MARCH 1st) with 'Chubby Artist' in the subject line (or I won't find your emailed guess come August 1st).

You can email me from my profile page here, or my contact page on my regular website. Don't forget to put 'Chubby Artist' in the subject line.

Anyone making more than one guess will be disqualified.

I will announce the result and the winner on August 1st (or thereabouts).

In the result of a draw, I'll roll a dice to determine the winner.

I'll post my current state of lardiness in the form of pounds at the end of blog posts after March 1st, so you can check in and see if I'm heading towards or away from your guess!

Your responsibility is to check-in during the month of August and contact me if you won if I'm unable to contact you.

If I'm unable to contact you by Sept 1st, the next closest wins (that  happened before with an earlier contest - the winner left a comment, but had no contact info on their profile page and didn't contact me).

Any arguments are decided by me, since it's my contest, and my mouse!


Winning the second Winged Angel Mouse...

If you have a blog (it must have existed before today!), you can enter by posting an announcement of this contest with a link to this post on your blog.
Let me know by commenting on this post, or email me ('blog entry' in the subject line) and you'll be in the blog draw for a Winged Angel Mouse of your choice.

Any bloggers who enter the second way before the end of this weekend (before Feb 6) gets a double entry - their name goes in the hat twice!



More info that might help you...

I'm 5'10" tall.

My scale reads pounds in increments of one fifth of a pound, eg

200.0
200.2
200.4
200.6
200.8
201.0

So if you want a chance at nailing it precisely, don't make a guess like 200.3

The heaviest I've been in the last 15 years (since living in the U.S. of A.) is 240, the lightest is 173.6 (for a few minutes, before I breathed in a particle of dust).

I don't have a method for tracking any facebook likes, tweets and what have you or I might have made it a triple offer, but if you'd like to hit the like button, I'd appreciate it!

That should do it, so good luck!
