Good news! Apparently I'm some sort of big flaming winner. As you may or may not have already known, the Drunken Monkey pic from my homepage feature was done as a contest entry for a pin-up competition hosted by Morpheus Forge Entertainment (indy comics company). As it turns out, my illustration took home 1st place. Hooray! This means I get all kinds of great loot like art supplies and free comics. You can view my work alongside the other entries by following this link.

Not to sound ungrateful, but I'm honestly surprised. Personally, I don't think my entry was the strongest, but I guess the judges thought otherwise. Probably the biggest compliment were the comments I received from Jimmy Palmiotti, longtime comics pro whose work I've admired for a long time. Thanks Jimmy. Thanks judges. Thanks Morpheus Forge Entertainment. You've made my day.
