The Art of Oddities and Other Things

01/05/2023

A huge congratulations to Heather who was drawn as the lucky winner of D.B. Merch. Heather has chosen the 'Kindness Matters' Tee, which has proven to be very very popular.

Please let us know when it arrives Heather! DB would love to know what you think.

For those who are not aware of DB's Nima and Dawa art and the story behind it, check out the link below. DB said just two days ago that he needs to find other individuals, such as Nima and Dawa, to help again. DB donated his own money to help support Nima and Dawa when they were in Australia for their separation surgery and has kept up with their progress ever since. He is quite proud of the fact that he had a small part in supporting them. Although his small part is a bit like Elon Musk donating just 500 million dollars, so I guess it's all relative and for DB it was a huge contribution.

Thanks to everyone for their support in helping to build up DB's business page. I am sure that he will have more give aways soon. He now has a new support worker who also happens to be an artist, and they are very keen to help DB organise and get his art out into the world. Every time DB gets an order through or receives feedback from customers, his self esteem and self worth is lifted. For a teenager with disabilities, it is a very tricky period of time. The ongoing support of his followers and customers makes a huge difference to his life! Please do not underestimate your contributions! (NB. The page Administrator is one very proud and perhaps slightly biased, Mum!)

Born in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, Nima and Dawa were born conjoined. David produced a number of art pieces about Nima and Dawa and wrote about them on his blog to e...

LAST CHANCE
Ensure your name is in the draw by commenting 'Done' below in the comments. This will ensure your name is not missed when D.B. selects the lucky winner randomly. Everyone who commented 'done' on the previous post has already been included, but if you do happen to double up, we will just give you an extra entry for being extra supportive!

Stay tuned as the winner will be announced soon!

Do you like Art?
Do you like free stuff or winning?
Do you want to help one really cool, emerging Newcastle based, young disabled artist to grow his page?

D.B. is in the growth phase of his business. To reach more people and spread his inspiring art and his witty take on the world, he needs to increase the number of followers on all of his social media, starting here on Facebook (he also does TikTok if you're interested).

To win you must follow these rules (D.B. loves rules, especially when he's made them up, not so much when they are enforced by 'The Government!')

Once D.B. hits 100 followers on Facebook he will randomly select one winner.

What will you win is some of D.B.'s amazing merch ... we cannot put a value on this prize pack because D.B.'s Art is in fact priceless, but lets just say this package runs into the 10s of dollars worth!

DB loves seeing pics of his merch out and about and being appreciated. He received this pic from a customer wearing 'Myrtle and Gustav's Chickens' at a local AFL game over the weekend. We are informed that they have received many positive comments about how nice their shoes are!
