;D I feel like I just won the lottery! gamma888: Thanks so much - both gifts arrived today and they are awesome! Clap activated alarm clock and a very early Josh Keyes print! And to my A.S.S. recipient, my gifts have been arranged and the first one should have shipped (they don't provide shipping notice). Hopefully the requested note made it in as well... Glad that you liked the gifts. They were all under $25, believe it or not. I actually asked the shop to send you a note, but the shop mentioned that he didn't send any note... so here's the note: "Hello J****, I am your Secret Santa. I hope you enjoy this cool gadget. You will receive ANOTHER gift from me if I can find it somewhere in my home. It's a puny piece. Happy Holidays! Regards, Gabe aka gamma888" As for some of you who have inquired about this tiny print, it was purchased a long time ago around 2005 at the defunct Boontling Gallery (like what Astrogirl recently said), which was owned by one of the artists, Derek Weisberg. Check out his figurative sculpture works. The print has been sitting along with many old stickers and seeing that badcatgary's a fan of Josh Keyes, I'd figured that he could get this print to give him a nice "seed" to collect more art works in the future. Happy Holidays, everyone! Off to NYC tomorrow AM!

Your message made it too. So excited Thank you for feeding my Camilla addiction with the postcards and artbook! Awesome! I'll be sure to let you know if/when I receive shipping info for the book (looks like the release date is Feb 23rd).

Thank you to my secret Santa She hit the nail on the head ( my wife thanks you as well, LOL ) today my box arrived and finally opened it and took some pictures, now onto the amazing present. 2010-12-22 20.27.43 by corysontag, on Flickr Thats right people, Santa does listen and brought me a years supply of AERO bars ( really about a month, but still amazing, LOL thank you ) Whatelse do you ask, well it is Santa so of course there was more [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos Yes again SNOW, the only thing besides the Falcons I miss from Atlanta ( and family ) but real life snow.... THANK YOU AGAIN SANTA Now the gift takes an odd turn, Why does Santa feel I need this, or what am I suppose to use it for, BUT I LOVE IT all dozen packages of it. Again not really sure my elbows are not ashy, I get my feet done every two weeks, and like to think I take fairly amazing care of myself, less being very chubby, but skin like a babies bottom and breath like peppermint, so why do I need this I dont know but I will use it and be happy to do so ( where I put it LOL ) THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS SO MUCH FUN, I AM SAD ITS OVER. MY PACKAGE SHOULD ARRIVE ANY TIME NOW HOPEFULLY TO MY PERSON

I got a package yesterday and it's filled with wrapped gifts with little notes on each one. In true form though I am waiting to open until the 25th. Can't wait to see what all I got!

Finally had a chance to take some photos! The pencils and the sketch book arrived at different times, but I'm pretty sure they were from the same Santa...if not let me know, haha. Anyways, the sketchbook was handmade, leather-bound and every single page has a different stain/texture. It's such a perfect gift for me, because I'm a designer and I'm always needing new textures. As soon as I got it, I scanned like 10 of the pages and immediately used it in a clients website. The arrival of it couldn't have been better timed! So thank you! And of course I can never have enough sketchbooks/pencils for my monster drawings The color choice was also fantastic. Thank you!

imaginehairyfriend, Yep, same santa I was hoping those pencils would not break in transit; glad to see they make it. I chose those colors because the Purple People Eater is my favorite monster. Glad you liked everything!

Hey so I finally got a chance to report back from my haul of gifts. I know my ASS really got into it and I couldn't even photo all the stuff that I got. But my box filled with individually wrapped gifts each had a humorous clue as to the contents, and I'm pretty sure I can guess who had me. Thanks so much!! The art related part of the gift was fantastic as are all the other treats. My nieces have already used some of them and my flamingo is dying from Chicago windchill and snow. Now for some lame webcam photos Attachments:

Did not know of Brendan Monroe until now. Fantastic Book and really a great pick that somehow my ASS knew I would like it. Reminds me of a Joe Sorren/Blu mashup and I love it. Book has already started to open up at the spine I've flipped through it so much. Attachments:

^^^ I know.
Highbrow you must work for the USPS to have gotten to seen the note written inside the wrapping. Really though I figured it out and what fun did I have opening each gift. You really did get in to the spirit with this one.
Thanks!!
