Wow

Last night I was awaken to a ring of my phone saying I had a message. Groggy I check my messages and I have a lovely voice message from Dave Chow... but it's almost midnight. weird. Sounding delightful as always the messages informs me that... I got into the Society of Illustrators 2008 Student Competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe it. Myself and two other CCS students (James Noellert and Mike Burdick) were part of the 130 students honored with this great aknowledgment. I'm ready for someone to pinch me, I just can't believe it. My piece chosen was the "Snake Scarf" painting. Look it's HERE! >>LOOKIE!

I'm just so excited and amazed. I guess since I look at my stuff everyday I really don't appreciate it, but from fresh eyes is the true vantage point of our art.

I just cannot believe I have this honor.
