The “drawings are kind of like puppies” metaphor... (bear with me, I can explain..)














Or… choosing a drawing is somehow akin to choosing one puppy from a whole litter of puppies when what you’d really love is to take all of them home!   
(Seemed like a pretty delightful intro, which I can’t actually take full credit for…  If you’re out there oh-art-collector-who-said-it-to-me-in-this-unforgettable-way... props and sweetness to you!)

Okay, so what am I talking about? 
Right.  Focus. 
It’s holiday time.  And I don’t know about you, but it’s always a bit conflicting for me. 
I love giving presents, but I also tend to over-do it some years and end up stressing myself out. 
I’m simultaneously delighted, and inspired, when I come up with what feels like the perfect thing to give my loved ones. 
See for me, it has to both:  

a.  express how I feel, and
b.  fit in nicely with the things that they love. 

And boy, when those two things line up… yee-haw… It’s a Happier Holiday!
So.  In the spirit of giving things that people love, things that come from your heart and things that resonate with their world…  you’re in luck!  
I’ve got puppies.  And lots of them. 
Puppies, puppies, puppies. 

Drawings, drawings and more drawings... 
You can pick one.  Or not.   And instead give a gift certificate that allows your loved one to do the picking… 

Gift certificates make life easier! 
Your loved one can pick a drawing that I’ve already done, or order one from the newly named, formerly-named Need Help? drawing project. 
That’s right.  Customize it baby! 

For now…
You just have to order the gift certificate, and the choosing can happen later…  like in some post-holiday quiet time bliss…

Problem-os solved! 
A gift certificate from the world of Jessica Serran that grants the art-loving receiver
a.    a customized drawing based on whatever they think, feel, want, and tell me. 
-or-

b.  a pre-existing puppy:  one of those drawings from my sketchbook.  (Mama dog is kinda prolific so you’ve got options!) 
Oh, and if you haven’t seen my new website yet, don’t be alarmed…  that’s where these links will whisk you away to.  (I’ve been keeping it on the down-low since it’s still in progress…  )
So.

When you see the PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT drawing... 






Click there. 
Once payment is received I’ll send a gift certificate to your inbox.  You can print it out and give, give, give in any old way that you’d like! 
$40 for any of the above, plus shipping… 
And a little incentive if you’re on the fence:  prices will be going up in the New Year… so now’s a great time to get in on this action! 
Happy giving! 

love, jessica
