our whimsical-style illustrations of mine
have been chosen to appear on the American Illustration 30 web gallery at
ai-ap.com.
After getting chosen for the
Society of Illustrator's 2011
annual book, this is the second time that my calendar has brought me luck.
The illustrations were taken from a
self-published calendar of mine. Labelled "The Well-Tempered Year,"
the calendar contains 13 full-sized
whimsical illustrations with titles that are mocking famous novels ("The BOLD
MEN and the Sea", "Brave BLUE World", "Howard's FRIEND" etc.).
The works were among only 185 images from
over 7,000 submitted to receive at least two votes from the jury and are
therefore eligible to appear permanently on the American Illustration website. |

American Illustration is the
industry's flagship in sorting out the top of the crop in the world of
illustration, showcasing art from promising newcomers and seasoned artist alike.
The focus is on artistic work as opposed to mere commercial pieces. |

mixed-media-style illustration of mine
has been chosen to appear on the American Illustration 29 web gallery at
ai-ap.com.
The collage-style artwork is entitled Flower Power,
and shows a bizzare-looking flower in a pot that resides on a table.
The work was one of only 280 images from
over 8,000 submitted to receive at least two votes from the jury and is
therefore eligible to appear permanently on the American Illustration website -
where over time illustrators build an online portfolio of their AI winning
images and where creatives make direct contact with them.
My chosen image will accompany the
collection of all winning illustrations representing the best images from 2009. |
