My 3 Awards from American Illustration

I am pleased to have just learned that 3 of my recent works have been selected into the American Illustration Annual. I have been very lucky to have been included in their beautifully printed coffee table award book on a yearly basis. The feeling of accomplishing work that I am proud of is always highlighted by my notice of acceptance, so thank you American Illustration and the jury for selecting my 3 pieces.  Only 339 pieces out of 10,003 entries were selected. (That may be a record number of entries!)

This beautiful coffee table book will be published in November 2016. Here are my winning pieces:
