!!! ... I think it deserved a few more exclamation points.
I got into Spectrum 17! Spectrum is the leading annual of fantasy/sci-fi art, and apparently they got about 6,000 entries this year. I was pretty bummed the past few years when I didn't get in, but this makes up for it. I was so used to not seeing my name after John Jude Palencar, Anthony Palumbo and Dave Palumbo, that when I actually saw my name, I nearly did a double take.
Other than the great honor, its good advertising to get into the book. Plus, I might have an opportunity to display my work at the Society of Illustrators in NYC.
I don't know which piece(s) got in, but I'll find out soon enough.

ReplyDeleteRemember me when you're a big shot.
Congratulations! Which pieces did you submit for consideration?
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really any closer to being a big shot. Maybe I'll be closer when I can afford rent.
I submitted five pieces, including three Magic cards. Jeremy Jarvis, the AD at Magic, submitted the art for Kor Cartographer and Nemesis Trap.
Congratulations! That's great news.
