of Woven Wood

I've been away for a while but I haven't been idle! (my poor negleted blog xoxo - all better?)
So what exactly have I been up to? Well, last year I was one of the winners of the 'Illustrators of the Future' contest, and this April I was flown to LA for the award ceremony and book release. I got to meet lots of wonderfully talented people; my fellow illustrator winners: Paul Pederson, Carly Trowbridge, Hunter Bonyun, Mago Huang, Fiona Meng, Greg Opalinski, Jay Richards, John Haverty, Pat R Steiner, Rhiannon Taylor, and of course the judges who mentored us during the week: Val Lakey Lindahn, Ron Lindahn, Stephen Hickman, Cliff Neilsen, Robert Castillo, Stephan Martiniere - just to name a few.

The story I illustrated in the Anthology is called 
'Of Woven Wood' - by Marie Croke

I made an animation from the image - which can be seen here below. I hope to have a version with the intended soundtrack up as soon as I can secure the correct license to use the music.
 

 

award thinggy...

So I just saw I got nominated by two lovely ether gals! From Malaysia, Bobo the cats devoted companion at Bobocat's fun place and from Canada Diana Evans, auther of Back to the drawing board… thanks girls!

The rules of accepting are as follows:

1) Put the logo on your blog

2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.

3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.

4) Add links to those blogs on yours.

5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

So here comes the hard part… especially since many of my favorites have already been nominated …a few times… but I have some pearls left to share!

steve for his creative monsters.

nyxcreations for her part in the fight against those evil penguins.
