Price of milk is not going up every time I visit my local supermarket. And oh yeah, both my studio and home rent got frozen for now. I was able to squeeze in more travels and meet peers and aspiring illustrators everywhere. Invited to a museum show in Berlin, Germany, then a show and lecture in Xalapa, Mexico, guest instructor for three days in Utrecht, Holland, taught a workshop in Venice, Italy, and just got back from judging a Chinese illustration competition in Hong Kong, China, among multiple schools in the US who were kind enough to invite me over. Thank you thank you thank you to all the kind people in my life.
This week when I schlepped my heavy suitcase back from Hong Kong with my head spinning from jetlag, there was a big package waiting for me at my door.
SPECTRUM silver medal!!! And look how sci-fi fantasy it looks!
Below are the images that got accepted to SPECTRUM this year starting from the silver medal winning piece in advertising category created for Microsoft as client.
Ok, so this year was not so bad. There were lots of great things to celebrate. What goes down must come up. Economy will soon come floating back up, my dear friends who have lost their jobs will eventually find jobs that are probably even better than the ones they lost.
For now, I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. And let’s make 2010 even better year than this one!
PS: this won’t be my last post of the year.
