Spusta Gnome's Super Bowl Squares

This year's Super Bowl Pot of Spusta Art is sending 60% of funds to the Natural Resources Defense Council. You can purchase one square for $10 via the Paypal button at the bottom of this post. (Please read carefully).

SQUARES ARE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED!

These images show the winning pot of art for Super Bowl Sunday. There will be two sets of squares and therefore, 2 winners per quarter, bringing a total of 8 winners. On Monday morning, the 8 winning names will be thrown into a gnome hat, and will be drawn one by one, and in order, each will be emailed to choose which of the prints or packs is theirs to keep.

So...if you are one of the 8 winners, and your name is drawn first, you get to choose first, and then 7 prints remain. If you are #2, you choose yours, and there are 6 remaining, and so on...

We encourage you to pay close attention, as you will have a 24 hour window to respond to your email when your name is drawn to pick your prize...

Thank you for participating! Winners will be emailed Monday morning.

Secret Stash Secret Sales

(Please read details carefully!)

Gnome 11 has put together a secret stash of art from the studio of Marq Spusta just for you. These print packs will be slowly sent out to mailboxes everywhere now through the end of the month. If you have come across this unadvertised post, you are in luck.

Descriptions and prices are shown on each pack. If you are interested in purchasing one of the prints/packs, complete the entry form at the bottom and randomly, at ANY time before the end of October, you may receive an invoice from Gnome 11 for the print pack you have selected. 

The catch is, this is a NON-instagram and NON-facebook lottery. Do not share this post other than via word of mouth. This will be fun for those checking in with our Secret Stash website and increases your chances of being selected. This will also be a bit of a first come first serve lottery, as once an item has been sold, it will be marked as "SOLD" on this page.

You can only enter ONCE (twice per household), so choose wisely...Also, in good Gnome 11 fashion, 50% of all sales for this lottery is going to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Each pack will be shipped with a few micros/stickers and a mini Wee Gnome Bookmark and shipping is an additional $12.

You Pick, We Pick, Mini Packs

These top 9 mini screen prints have been embellished by Marq Spusta. To spice up this lottery, we have added in two mystery mini prints as well (a "mini" print is usually classified as one of Marq's prints that are either 5" x 5", 5" x 7" or 7" x 7" in size). This purchase lottery ($200) will include one of these top prints of your choice + one of the mystery prints in the middle set of 9 + one of the mystery prints in the bottom set of 9.

We are donating 45% of the sales from today's lottery to the Homeless Garden Project, out of Santa Cruz, CA, a nonprofit that provides transitional employment, job training and support services for individuals experiencing homelessness on their 3.5 acre organic farm. They also make value-added products and have a retail component to help train crew members for re-entering the workforce. This was a recommendation from a collector and we are happy to collaborate. Estimated donation is over $800!

So you pick one of these...(keep reading)... 

And receive ONE of these (random)...

And you'll also receive ONE of these (random) included in your pack...

...For a total of 3 mini prints + a few micros/stickers and a Wee Gnome Prince Bookmark. 

So you pick the top embellished mini, and receive one mystery mini from the middle set, and one mystery from the lower set. These packs are going for $200 and include your shipping! 

Complete the form to enter the purchase lottery and we will select 9 random winners to be invoiced by tomorrow 10/6/17 in the afternoon (please do not send Gnome 11 any special requests on this one, let's be fair and enjoy the mystery of it all!)

All of our selected "winners" have been emailed as of 1:30pm PST, Sat 10/7/17. THANK YOU!

Fare Thee Well Supporting the Arts

Gnome 11 has a stack of Fare Thee Well concert posters by Marq Spusta that need new homes. 45% of these sales will be sent to support the charity Create Now, non-profit organization founded in 1996 that helps vulnerable children ages 2-22 through arts programs in all disciplines. This poster was from a concert series which were performed by most of the surviving members of the Grateful Dead and Trey Anastasio (Phish), among others, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead in the summer of 2015. This one was for the performances took place at Chicago's Soldier Field. These performances were publicized as the final time the musicians would all perform together. 

Fun Fact: Gnome 11 was actually in Chicago the weekend of this concert and will never forget how the streets of Chicago looked swarming with Grateful Dead Heads. It was something I'll always remember! That, and bumping into Spusta Fans left and right and being able to say "I know him!"

A Mini Print for a Big Thanks

Some of you may be aware of a few Gnome glitches that happened yesterday that were a little unexpected. We are still cleaning up the mess and appreciate all of your understanding.

I am simply in awe of the amount of encouraging messages and emails received. We are so grateful for your support of Marq's art/the Spusta Studio, and for our ability to continually raise funds for causes that are making a difference around the world.

Although the day started off a little rough, Gnome 11/Marq is still planning to donate our usual 40% of yesterday's Spusta Gnome's Secret Stash sales, and we collected an UNPLANNED amount of over $3200 for charity!

Sometimes good things come out of chaos. Thanks again for all the kind words, I read them all!

 

For those of you who either missed out on the Ivory Muzums sale this morning from Gnome 11, or missed it because it was late, or got really annoyed because it was late, we are so sorry for what happened. Gnomes make mistakes too and we really appreciate the understanding. 

It was a long morning after the Paypal button decided to oversell our prints as well. So after some cleanup and sorting, Gnome 11 decided to send out a few little "thank yous" to those of you who were inconvenienced!

Mystery Packs for Unicef

Happy Friday! Today we are doing a lottery for some Gnome 11 signature mystery packs. These are a little different from each other, each unique in their own way (just like gnomes.) 40% of sales from this lottery are going to support UNICEF.

Each pack has a 7" x 7" mini print, could be a Slowing for the Sound, or a Progressing, or maybe something else. Some have a Knowing of Gnomeness, some have something that's a little harder to find. Some have a 5" x 5" and some have more than one. But each is sure to bring you happiness and joy on this lovely day. They all have a new Wee Gnome Prince bookmark. 

This lottery is going to be running all day and will have a little Gnome 11 trivia to go with it. Answers (no, not the one about your favorite print) will be posted tonight and winners will be notified then. Please pay by Sunday evening ($150 includes shipping!).

(If someone does not get all the answers, we will go with closest to selection or random for ties).

Which pack you receive is absolutely a mystery, cannot grant any requests on this one! One per person and one per household please! Each pack is $150 and includes shipping.

WINNING ANSWERS: Baby Gnome Bday is in September, Gnome 11's favorite print right now is Seven Birds, and there are 13 packs in this lotto!
