Wednesday, July 8, 2020 at 08:22PM I just received an email from DRAWING Magazine telling me that my piece "Vanitas 18" was one of the winners for Strokes of Genius 12 competition. This is my second winning following last year's with "Vanitas 11". I am honored to be included in a group of fantastic artists. The winning entries will be published in a book that's coming out late November this year. Can't wait to see the book in person!
Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 03:14PM My drawing "Vanitas 11" was featured in Drawing Magazine special issue "Strokes of Genius 11" competition as one of the winners (top right corner in this spread). This competition was juried by one of my art heroes Steven Assael and that makes this even more meaningful to me. I am truly honored to be included in this collection of fantastic artists. Seriously, this issues has some INCREDIBLE art works in it.
Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 02:33AM I saw the cover of the next "Strokes of Genius" book online that is going to hit the bookstores in November. My drawing "Vanitas 11" is in this. I can't wait to see this in person!
Saturday, January 5, 2019 at 02:57AM My drawing Vanitas 11 got accepted into the next edition of Strokes of Genius publication (number 11) as one of the winners. It is going to hit the book stores around the end of this year. This is a beautifully designed annual publication by North Light Books (the publisher of the Artists Magazine) that is dedicated to the art of drawing. This volume's subtitle is "Finding beauty". The juror was one of the artists I admire Steven Assael and I am in a good company of many artists I highly respect in this book. I am extremely honored.
