The Society Show!

Hows it going folks, I was so honor to be at the show. My piece was in the editorial part of the Society show. The show was amazing. Got to hang out with my friends and see awesome work by Sam Webber that won the gold award, Josh Cochran, Jillian Tamaki that won the siliver, Frank Stockton, Sterling Hundley, Gary Kelly and many more. Most of the artist were there at the show too. It was fun talking to these amazing artist at the bar up stairs in the society building. But thats not all, the most amazing part was standing near a original N.C. Wyeth illustration and speaking to Mark English at the same time. Good times!

I took a photo of myself by my piece. Walking a Monk!

The photo by the bar is a original Norman Rockwell.

The black and white figure is a original Saul Tepper. Bad ass!

I had more images to show but they got lost, at that
time in the Society they had a Harvey Dunn show, with his students.
