Spectrum 13!

News:
I just found out I got in Spectrum 13! I’ve wanted to submit works to Spectrum for over ten years now, and this year I finally got around to actually doing it. In the early years of Spectrum, I was too insecure to submit, as I felt my stuff wasn’t strong enough (and I couldn’t afford the entry fee during my starving years). Then, I got into the CG industry and didn’t want to submit because I was afraid if I did get in, I’d have to face freelance commissions I had no time for. It’s always been something nagging in the back of my mind though, as Spectrum is widely considered the most prestigious publication in the field of fantastic art, and many of my heroes are regularly featured in it (Justin Sweet, Phil Hale, Robh Ruppel, Glen Orbik, Adam Hughes, Frank Cho, Donato Giancola..etc). Just to be in the same publication as them would be an honor. I have no idea which pieces of mine got in yet, but my name’s in the accepted list–you can see it here.

I’m excited to see Craig Mullins in there as well, because I’ve secretly wished that he’d submit works for years now. It’s about time the rest of the world (outside of the CG industry) got to witness his talent. My pal Steven Stahlberg got in as well, as did a few other familar names in the digital art community like Jason Chan, Bobby Chiu, and guys who’s already made it in previously like Phil Straub, Ken Wong, Francis Tsai, and Stephan Martiniére (who’s been in many previous Spectrums already).
