Exotique 5 is labeled as a collection of "The World Most Beautiful CG Characters." Seeing as my painting of human skin is relatively weak, I honestly do not think my featured image deserves that label. It was also printed with way too much contrast, but regardless of that, I am very happy to be part of this book. |

Creative Quarterly holds an art competition every season, with the winners of each category printed in their quarterly magazine. One of my images was awarded runner-up status but looking at the images that came out ahead I was able to see why I was bested by these other artists. This also meant I now know more clearly what to improve on, making me very excited to tackle my next piece. |

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. |
