Pixelinked is a website that features daily update of digital artwork. I found a few images so inspiring that I had to save in my personal folder. This month, I was given the honor to be the first artist they interviewed and featured in a short article. I will continue to visit this site to seek for more inspiration. |

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. |

ImagineFX digital art magazined featured a piece of my work in their grand 50th issue. They commissioned no other than Andrew "Android" Jones to illustrate the cover. For those unfamiliar with him, Mr. Jones' unique artwork have made him something like a celebrity within the concept art community. He is one of my favorite artists, and someone to work towards. |

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. |

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. |

Issue 34 of ImagineFX digital art magazine features two pieces of my work. Though I know my skills are minimal compared to the more seasoned artists that were presented. It is still very encouraging to be published in the same magazine as them. It makes me feel like I am a small step closer to their caliber. |
