Bring Your Vision to Life

I was deeply humbled by the overwhelming number of artists who took the time to visit and congratulate me for winning 2nd place in the recently concluded Wacom's Bring Your Vision to Life contest. The truth is I never expected making it to the top 3 with all the wonderful, and creative submissions for the contest. And I wouldn't lie either about not wanting the Intuos 4. I have been coloring with my reliable mouse ever since because I can't afford to buy a tablet. So winning this contest has been the best thing that ever happened to me in deviantArt.

I know that this would have been impossible without the dedicated dA staff who made the fair and tough decision of placing me in the semifinals, the Wacom panel of judges who I believe made a very fair selection of winners and to my friends and fellow artists who showed their support until the very end... for that, I am eternally grateful to you.

I would also like to congratulate my fellow winners and all the 9500+ artists who participated in the contest for giving their best shots. Not winning doesn't mean you're bad and winning doesn't necessarily equate to greatness. This is just one of the many contests that happen in dA so let's all continue doing art.

PS: This victory is dedicated to my beloved Bella Sinclair who unfortunately can't celebrate with me due to the passing of her husband. If by any chance you drop by, I would like you to know that we've won. I didn't have the chance to tell you earlier but here it is. I hope this makes you smile. My thoughts are with you dear.
