Each week, some art in our online gallery is for sale.

Some is not.

But this week, for the first time, an artist makes an offer.

Miggs Burroughs — the Westport native and longtime graphic designer who has created (among many others ) a US postage stamp, Time magazine cover and the Westport town flag — invites anyone to download his submission today.

You can save it to your desktop, share it with others, post on social media … whatever works for you. It’s his gift to our readers — and it leads this week’s gallery offerings.

Meanwhile: No matter your age; the style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we want your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, mixed media, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.

Just email a JPG to 06880blog@gmail.com. And please include the medium you’re working in.

Artist Miggs Burroughs says, “I took some liberties with the new passport design to take effect this summer. Anyone can download this for free, drag it onto their desktop, and share as they see fit.”
