This semester has probably been the most stressful when it comes to art. This doesn't mean I'm not having fun, but I am getting more serious about doing things for portfolios, growing in skill, and doing some crazy things like airbrush and drawing pieces larger than my little sister.
I'm just here now to tell you that I have been recognized twice in the past week! [With framed proof hanging on the wall next to my bed because I said so.]
At TIPA, the editorial staff and I competed on-site in Fortworth and although it was the first time I legitimately drew an editorial for a story, I won third place! And in the competitions for previous work, I won second for the illustrations in the Halloween spread (scroll down and find Frankie).
Also, there's an annual student exhibition for the university art gallery where students may submit up to three pieces to be judged by a professional and to compete for scholarships in first, second, and third prizes. You only know if you're in when you see your work on the wall on opening night. The baby face - which I named Contagious - was on the wall, and won first prize!
Two more lines on the ole resume...feels good.
