Juried All-Student Art Exhibition
Originally uploaded by quartermane My digital illustration advert "Vixen, Vespa, Vans" made it into the Texas State University Art & Design "Juried All-Student Art Exhibition" and will be hanging in Gallery I from March 24 - April 12, 2008.
I have to admit, when I dropped off my two pieces for submission, my heart sank. I did not expect the work entered to be on that high a level. Everything looked like professional quality. I didn't even hope to be selected.
There are two factors which helped me though... One, my skill. :P I mean, I guess I got SOMETHING right with that particular illustration. The other would be luck ....
When I turned in my work (half an hour past deadline), I saw absolutely NO communication design work -- even though the contest is open to ALL art & design students. There weren't any categories set up for comm des, either. I entered two illustrations -- one traditional and one digital. And I had to put them both in "painting."
So, I'm guessing that since my work was one of few (if any), it stood a much better chance at getting in the show. Either way, it's there, and I'm still pretty proud.
There are some amazing pieces here, and I recommend checking it out, if you are in the San Marcos, TX area. Gallery I (along with Gallery II) is located on the second floor of the Joann Cole Mitte Art & Design building at Texas State University off of Sessom Dr.
But in case you can't make it to gallery, here's the piece:
