Oh. My. Goodness...
I just got an e-mail saying that I'm a finalist for a major (read: $50,000) art prize. That's a pretty big honor, to be picked out of the 100's as one of the best 150 or so. I'm pretty blown away right now.
edit: here's the piece I submitted. I have to get it framed!
edit again: just so yall know, I'm not going to win, but it's cool just to be chosen this far.
