What a week I have had! On Tuesday I received a congratulatory email stating that I had won an award with the work I had sent to an Art Show in Plano, Texas. I was SOOOOOO excited! But the awards were present on Thursday to an event that I could not travel too. But they had a webcast of it you could listen to with synced slides.
The wait for Thursday afternoon to come was almost unbearable!
Finally Thursday arrived and I signed in to the web cast. Well to make a long story short, my digital illustration Chocolate won First Place in the category of computer art, and my kaleidoscope with my giraffes won honorable mention in enhanced photography! Since my pieces won awards they will now be shipped to Dallas Texas where they will be displayed in the North Park Gallery to be seen by an estimated 2 million people! What an honor! Now the question most people ask is "how much money did you win?" I didn't win any monies, I just did it for the recognition. What an ego boost that was!
Maybe getting in the Texas Market will have some kind of ripple effect and I will get someone calling me asking me for more! I hope so!
One bit of bad news....I had worked so hard on the multimedia piece for the Chicago show and with all the excitement of this event I totally forgot to mail it in until it was too late to get it to them in time.....all that work.....sigh....I need to find a new show to submit my multimedia piece to. I believe there was probably a reason I didn't get it submitted to the Chicago gallery. I will see the purpose in this later, I suppose!
I keep saying I am going to get a planner just for art show deadlines, that I can keep track of these deadlines.
