Yay! Got Chosen

After hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst, I found out that two of my pieces were chosen to appear on the American Illustration site - I'll take it! I was thinking I'd get shafted this awards season, especially given the record number of entries in all the competitions this year, so it was a very pleasant surprise. Congratulations to everyone who got in - I look forward to seeing all the amazing work...and am totally inspired to work harder and do better.
