Cuban Food Poster - And the winners are...

Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's giveaway. I so appreciate all your suggestions and I swear, reading all your posts made me HUNGRY!

I'll be working on some of the ideas you came up with in the next couple of months. If you haven't already, please consider adding your name to my mailing list (over on the right-->) so you can get product updates and be the first to know when I'm running another giveaway. (Hint - there may or may not be another happening this weekend, but that's not important right now.) 

I chose three (3!) winners who will each receive the Cuban Food Poster in the size of their choice.

Each poster is unmounted and  printed on heavy duty premium luster paper with archival fade-resistant inks. I will send the winner the size of their choice. They are available in the following sizes:

Cuban Food Poster - A Giveaway

We had a big party this last weekend. We served a very cool Cuban sandwich themed menu. I'm going to tell you all about it in a few days, but today I just wanted to share that Every. Single. Person. that came through my kitchen made a comment about my Cuban Food Poster. 

Every. Single. Person.

My favorite inquiries were the, "Where did you find that?" questions. At which point I made myself blush a little and cast my eyes downward and say, "Oh, that? It's my own design." (I've pretty much gotten this act down to a science, but that's not important right now.)

I even had an Italian friend suggest I do an Italian food one, which I think I absolutely will, but that's not important right now.

It made me think that it was probably time to do another giveaway, so here it is!

I'm going to be giving away Three (3) Cuban Food Posters to 3 lucky winners.

Each poster is unmounted and  printed on heavy duty premium luster paper with archival fade-resistant inks. I will send the winner the size of their choice. They are available in the following sizes:

• 5" x 7"
• 8" x 10"
• 11" x 14"
• 16" x 20"
• 20" x 30"

It looks just like the photo above. Black background with white lettering and some distressing for an aged texture.

To enter the drawing for a chance to win one of the 3 posters, please leave me a comment on this post and tell me...

• What's your favorite comfort food? (I'd have to go with picadillo, myself.)
• Who makes it the very best? (Your mami? Tia Cuca? El Palacio de los Jugos?)
• Do you have any suggestions for other food posters? (BTW, I already have a Salvadorian Food Poster in my shop.)

Leave one comment only, please! 

Remember that if you want to enter the drawing for the poster, you must leave a comment on this post and I'll choose THREE winners on Thursday, July 2nd at 11:00 am PST.

Gracias and Buen Provecho!

I also have a larger size (20"x 30") and a (16"x 20") on canvas, but that's not important right now.

Because I love you...

I'm busy these days keeping up my Etsy shop. 

Do you even know the fabulousness of Etsy? It's a wonderful place to shop online for one-of-a-kind stuff. I totally won Christmas last year by shopping on Etsy, but that's not important right now. 

All that to say this: I have an Etsy shop. It's called Marta Darby Designs. And you can find it right here. 

 

And you guys have been so amazing and have ordered so many posters that I'm seriously feeling all kinds of love for you, so thank you so much!

Right now I have my Cuban Food Poster for sale in various sizes.

• There's a 20" x 30" that's pretty magnificent for $33. 
• The 16" x 20" is super popular right now and is only $21.00. (Thanks, guys!)
• And I also have a 16" x 20" canvas available for $69.00.

The 16" x 20" is this one that's hanging in my kitchen.

I had a customer ask me last week if I could please, please, please create a smaller, downloadable version of this poster for her mama's birthday. Maybe an 8"x10" that she could download and print and frame instantly.

"Claro que sí," I said. Which, of course, means, "Of course."

Full disclosure: It took me a little while to figure out how to get the download happening. But I finally did and...drum roll, please...

Today, just in time for Valentine's Day, or for your Tia Cuca's birthday or whatever...

I'm offering my poster in an 8"x10" DOWNLOAD jpg format. (For personal use only, of course.) 

It's the same Comida Cubana Subway-style art that you are loving, but in a downloadable JPG format for only $5.00. Easy-Peasy.

You can download, print it on your home printer or have Walmart, Staples, or Costco, or whoever prints your photos do it. Sweet deal, right?

You love me now, don't you?

I love you more. xo

Cuban Food Poster - Winners

Seriously, people. I read every single one of your comments and I swear that your love for Cuban food shows right through. Thank you all for participating and sharing your favorite foods and your stories behind them. 

I'm grateful that you are enjoying my poster. Thank you for that. I love mine. And I figured you'd love it, too. 

I wish I could choose all of you, but that's why I can't be trusted with these kinds of decisions. Which is why I go over to random.org and plug the number of (legit) entries into the True Random Number Generator, which then gives me well, random numbers.

The winners of the Cuban Food Posters are (drum roll, please)...

 

 

Congratulations! Please send me an email with HEY, MARTA! I WON STUFF ON YOUR BLOG! in the subject line (so I don't accidentally delete it) and be sure to include your mailing address and I will ship out your posters ASAP.

For those of you who were so patiently waiting and did not win, you still have the option to head on over to my Etsy shop and buy the poster for yourself, or for your Mami, or for your Tia Cuca. She loves this kind of stuff.

Thank you again for participating in my giveaway. I'd so love to see this poster in every single Cuban kitchen. 

Happy New Year Cuban Food Poster(s) Giveaway

I've got all this great Happy New Year energy going right now and I have so many stories to tell and I'm going to San Francisco next week to visit Pixar and Skywalker Ranch. I just feel like I want to share the love and happy vibes.

If you were in my town, I'd say, "Hey, come over for dinner. I'll cook you something Cuban." But since that's not likely to happen, how about I just do a Happy New Year Cuban Food (Poster) Giveaway? 

Yes. I think it's a wonderful idea. 

If you were coming to dinner, I would be torn. What to serve? Check out this poster and just try to make a decision.

Because I look at this one every day in my kitchen, I think I'm going to try to master the art of making Pan Cubano. (See? It's not just cool looking. It's motivational, too.)

 

So much Cuban food. So little time. *sigh* 

I'm going to be giving away Three (3) Cuban Food Posters to 3 lucky winners.

Each 16"x20" poster is unmounted and  printed on heavy duty premium luster paper with archival fade-resistant inks.

It looks just like the photo above. Black background with white lettering and some distressing for an aged texture.

Marta Darby Designs is OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

I'm super excited to share this with you today.

So, you know that I have that fabulous Cuban Food Poster that I designed last year. I've had such a great response from you that I decided to go ahead and create an Etsy shop (I know. Who am I?) to make it easier for you to buy as many as you want.

For those of you who don't know, Etsy is THE place to shop online for some of the coolest handmade, homegrown, fabulously designed stuff on the web. 

And look! Here I am!

And because of this auspicious occasion, I've listed my 16 x 20 Cuban Food Poster (which, I know you've totally been wanting) at a discounted price just in time for Christmas.

It's only $21.00 this week. Just in time for you to get one for every single person in your big, fat, Cuban family to open on NocheBuena.

I've got lots of other fun things in the works, but right now I'm really excited to get this party started with this fun poster.
