If you follow me on Bluesky, you might have read about this: I turned 36 yesterday 🥳🎂
I've been thinking of ways to gift you some stuff, and came up with not one, but two things.
• Creating Lightly membership giveaways
• Cool new releases in the store
Keep reading to learn all about them!
Today's topics
What is a Creating Lightly membership anyway?
The Creating Lightly membership is basically a community where we can hang out whenever the social media platform of the day messes up, and we need to migrate elsewhere not to lose contact.
It’s free to join, and there are some extra perks if you’d like to support Creating Lightly/Living Cars with a bit of cash to keep things going.
You will mainly find behind the scenes stuff and sneak peeks to what’s coming, before anyone else!
There are 4 tiers. A free one, and 3 of them behind a small contribution (monthly or yearly with a discount, your choice).
The tiers are:
Tier 1 - Dependable Daily
Tier 2 - Fun Weekend Car
Tier 3 - Serious Grand Tourer
The prices in USD are all set after car models ❤️
Each tier unlocks more perks for you to enjoy, and all can be joined for a month, or for a year with a discount over the monthly payment cost. What’s not to like?
I figured, if you enjoy what I share here, my artwork, the lengthy, passion driven and well researched newsletters, you might be willing to invite me for a cup of coffee or a beer.
This lets you do so!
Check the website for the full description and perks, but you can have a preview here.
Membership giveaways
I'd like more of you to join the free members area from Creating Lightly.
Why?
When whatever social media we are in at the time inevitably goes to the ground and we all leave again, we won't lose contact (although we are in touch here with emails!)
I post there, you can comment, we all have a good time. It's great!
How to win?
For the following month I'll give away a 3 month paid membership for each lap I did around the sun. That’s 36 memberships in total.
The fun part
I'll give one away randomly for every 10 free members (current ones also play).
The earlier you join, the more chances you have to get one, since you'll enter more draws.
For every 5 winners of a Tier 2, I'll give away a Tier 3 (the top one with 10% off in stuff from the store!).
In summary, if we get to give away all the accounts, the first 10 people had 36 chances. The second 10 had 35 chances, and so on.
Pretty good odds if we get everyone to join!
The new releases!
I uploaded two new prints in the store that you can get right now. Way before Christmas is here, if you're thinking of gifts!
They are two of my best artworks (in my opinion! But let me know) and they are as follows:
Lamborghini Miura in Tokyo
Porsche 917K - Gulf Livery
New Creating Lightly print releases! "Lamborghini Miura in Tokyo" Original Artwork Print and "Porsche 917K - Gulf Livery" Original Artwork Print
Lamborghini Miura in Tokyo print
This was my latest artwork in a while, and it's a vector art with raster look.
One of my best, most complex artworks to date.
If you like it, you can get it on your wall here 👇
Porsche 917K - Gulf Livery print
It started as a commission for a client's slot car room, and I liked it so much that I went full artwork on it. The original request had a more simple background.

As always, thank you so much for your support all these years.
Your comments, shares and encouragement helps me steer the wheel in the right direction, and I think this is the one ❤️
I hope you have a great week ahead.

P.S. Reply to this email to let me know what got you the most excited from today’s announcements. Also, what artwork would you like me to create a print of next? It’s highly likely that if you share your preference, I will make it available pretty soon! Especially if you’re looking for some Christmas gifts 🎁
