Its an honor just to be nominated...

Its official. They've announced the nominees list for the Swatch Young Illustrators Award 2009 on the Illustrative website, and on the Illustrative Blog.

I'm insanely excited, and have never wanted to jump on a plane more than right now. Its an incredible honor to be included with such an amazing group of artists. The exhibition goes up on October 16th and goes down on November 1st.

Also, almost everyone in my category is from a different country, and I'm the only American. That's kinda awesome.

Good afternoon Blog. Its been a crazy past couple of weeks. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I slept so little, but felt better for it. I just finished another piece for Business Week, which I'll post later. Also, I'm almost done with a televised project that I'll share more about once it comes close to air date.

For today I'm posting a 2+ year project that I began my first semester at SVA. One day I bought a Munny Doll at Kid Robot and made it my personal fruit sticker board. It took a lot of bananas, apples, oranges, and possibly a pear, but he's ready to make his debut in this rough 'n tumble world.

Also, I just received word that I've been nominated for the Swatch Young Illustrators Award at Illustrative 09. I'm so deeply honored, and WISH I COULD BE THERE. But oh well... my only consolation is the upcoming Big Apple Comic-Con. My thanks appreciation to the jury and the other artists involved. For those of you in Berlin, drop me a line and let me know the good word.
