Happy Chinese New Year!

It’s appropriate that today, I’ve spent most of my afternoon working on a book about dragons. Hint: it’s from one of IMPACT Books’ best-selling, most-loved authors and the art, as usual, is gorgeous!

The Daily Mail has a great gallery of images of the celebrations happening in the East, and the colors and celebrations are absolutely captivating! I think it’s a sign that this is going to be a prosperous, great new year!

So why not celebrate by picking up a copy of one of these three favorite IMPACT Books?

• Dragonworld
• DragonArt Evolution
• Dracopedia

Here at IMPACT headquarters nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a copy of Dracopedia. That’s why we’ve put together a list of our favorite dragon books, DVDs and downloads. Make all the dragon-lovers on your gift list happy with these top picks:

1. DragonArt

2. DragonArt Fantasy Characters

3. DragonArt Evolution

4. Dracopedia

Theresa K. from California won our DragonArt Evolution contest! She will receive cover art signed by author and artist  J “NeonDragon” Peffer! Congrats, Theresa!

What’s better than drawing your way through a Jessica “NeonDragon” Peffer book like DragonArt? Nothing! Because all DragonArt books are awesome, but this is also pretty awesome. Watch NeonDragon herself draw on LiveStream via neondragon.com. When she’s online, there will be a red “live” button on the video player. And you’ll even be able to text chat live during that time! If she’s offline, no worries. The player will still cycle through past recordings of when she was drawing live.

And if you haven’t entered yet, click here to enter our DragonArt Evolution sweepstakes. You could win a signed print of the cover art from DragonArt Evolution along with some superimpressive NeonDragonish goodies like chapsticks, candles and buttons.

Yes, that’s right, we’re giving away the DragonArt Evolution cover art signed by J “NeonDragon” Peffer.  Click here to enter the DragonArt sweepstakes. The contest runs until 10/11/10 and you must be 13 or older to participate. Have a great weekend and good luck!
