this week is going to be wild. really busy with school.

heard back from American Illustration;
"We are pleased to inform you that work you submitted to American Illustration 28 has been CHOSEN to appear on TRIBUTE our web gallery at ai-ap.com. While your image will not appear in the book, it was one of only 200 images from a record-breaking 8,100 submitted to receive at least 2 votes in the student category and is therefore eligible to appear permanently on our website - where over time illustrators build an online portfolio of their AI winning images and where creatives make direct contact with them."

i'm really happy. i'm also invited to the ai/ap 28 party in november. i volunteered at the last one and it was a blast. great food, free drinks, and incredibly talented people.

i will post the images they picked soon. for now, a piece i'm doing for my astronomy class based on an article in Scientific American: Let There Be Blobs. i was really attracted to the picture of the space blob:the blob is named Himiko, after an ancient Japanese queen. the scant information available on the queen is actually really interesting, but basically the blob holds a lot of possibilities for helping cosmologists and astronomers understand how various galaxies form, including our own. so i wanted to make the cluster of pixels to reflect our own universe by putting a face on it that also served as a reference to the queen Himiko.

i wish i painted the squares better.
