Greetings and Happy New Year from Michael and I.
The year of the monkey starts soon, but a few of you were treated to more than just bananas when you went and checked out our website to see if you had won our drawing for the 12 signed Seewald art calendars recently.
We are giving away yet another 12 calendars to 12 lucky recipients of this newsletter. PLUS, you may be the YEAR END GRAND PRIZE WINNER of a $7,500 30"x40" Seewald original. Keep reading to find out if you are winner.
The Venice series is now showing in La Jolla at the Blondstone studio. Michael will have a public reception which you are all invited to on Saturday, January 31st, from 6 to 9 p.m.. (Music, hors d'oeuvres, etc.) If you live in the area, we hope you can make it. Michael will be personalizing the '04 calendars (your last chance to get one for only $49.95... it increases in value to $59.95 after opening night). Exhibit will run through March. Address and regular hours for Blondstone:
http://www.seewald.com/about_blondstone.htmThe last 'one day' photo workshops sold out fast due to the Christmas gift certificates so many people had received. The next couple are scheduled for Feb. 7th and April 3rd. contact if interested.
Michael's Kenya sponsors are now choosing their favorites, so that series is soon to be released and posted on our website, then Thailand is soon to follow.
OK, to see if you won a calendar, or the YEAR END GRAND PRIZE PHOTOGRAPH, just go to our '04 calendar page and see if your name is at the bottom. (Hint, some new guestbook signers have won, some photo class attendants, some sponsors and some recent calendar purchasers.)

Greetings,
Just a quick note about a couple of things. Michael will be heading off to work in China next week. Second time since 1988, when he created one of his most successful series from over 45 worldwide trips to date. This time he will concentrate on a new area, Sichuan Provence, and be based in the city of Chengdu. The pandas live in the mountains of this area, so he will try and catch one for each sponsor that signs up. Just kidding of course, but he will try and outperform his earlier work there, so it would be a good trip to invest in. Of course, sponsors get a Seewald original for about 1/2 price over that of opening night. (Get in for as low as $1,500, payments in thirds.) No, you don't go on the trip with him, but in the future you might be able to. The area is known for it's interesting city life as well as it's natural wonders and national parks.
We know a lot of you have been contemplating sponsorship, so contact us and we shall see how to make it a reality for you to own a Seewald. (See where a Picasso just sold for OVER $104,000,000 yesterday at auction!).
He will work in Tibet as well, which sponsorship wise has been sold out for a while now. His trip to Italy in the fall has 5 sponsors, so we have room for a few more before closing out that series.
Our friend John Stokes, the master puzzle maker, is at it again, with a special puzzle, one of a kind, created out of a Seewald image. Only 16 hours left on eBay as of this newsletters creation, which is midnight, Thursday night the 6th. Here is the link:

The next class is sold out but we have one in June on Michael's return. Beginners to advance, one day workshops, digital or analog, only $195 for Michael's entire brain given to you!! Well almost, read about it.
