Creative Workshop: 80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills

I’ve been featured! Okay, not me, my illustrations!

It’s been a painful wait to learn if any of my pieces that I created special for this book would be accepted and almost gave up… Alas, I was notified earlier this week that indeed, one or more of my illustrations have been included -I just don’t know which ones! Ha!

Meanwhile, if you score a copy of Creative Workshop: 80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills before I do, let me know how much you love the assembled challenges.

Niche Award Finalist: I’m Dreaming

We just received some awesome news yesterday in our inbox!!! The curators of the prestigious Niche Awards surprised us with this:

RE: NICHE Awards- Finalist
Good Day and Congratulations!
The first round of judging for the 2011 NICHE Awards is complete, and one or more of your pieces has been selected as a finalist! More information will be sent your way in the next few weeks…

I submitted three pieces and we’ll see which one(s) get selected as a finalist.

Art and images are judged on the following:

* Technical excellence, both in surface design and form
* A distinct quality of unique, original and creative thought
* Market viability

I have to read and reread this note!! After so many rejections with our leather goods this past year, this could not have come at a better time! So happy that our hard work is getting recognition!!!

I know this year has been tough for everyone and I want to thank you all for being supportive!!
