Digital Artist 2009, an international art competition, have granted me the honors of first place in the Concept Art category. I am very excited, and this is definately an encouragement for me to continue to improve my artwork. It also gave me the chance to go to London for the award ceremony. The last time I was in London, I was two years old and a seagull stole my hamburger on the beach. Never again!

The Allegoria Della Natura is a contemporary exhibition in Primo Piano Gallery, from September 13th to September 30th. It is such a honor to have two paintings displayed in Italy, the art capital of the world. Unfortunately, I could not afford to leave my work behind and see the show for myself. If anyone could take pictures, it would be greatly appreciated if they could be sent to my email.

I am pleased with the design of the costume and the color of the image overall, but I realized that my skills in painting human skin is somewhat limited. It will be an aspect I will strive to improve on in the future.

Expose 7, a digital art annual from Ballistic Publishing, is now available for purchase. It is a pleasure to be a part of this book, since I've been a big fan of the previous volumes. My piece is on the 3rd page of the Transport section. Looking at the work of other artists reminds me that I still have so much to learn.

I anticipated and visualized this piece to be more appealing. I had a very specific level of light and shade to depict. However, this piece presents a problem in which it could look overly dark or bright on different monitors. It annoys me that something out of my control is affecting the look of my artwork so greatly.
