American Illustration 40 Chosen Winner news
Positive news is very rare during these dark uncertain and difficult COVID-19 pandemic times. So, I consider myself to be fortunate to have a little bit of good news happen for me personally and to share today.
And even when positive news does manage to happen, so much pain, sadness and loss is happening all over the world that it is hard for me to feel good about them.
I am very honoured, pleased and consider myself to be fortunate and blessed to be informed today by Mark Heflin, Director American Illustration-American Photography that my illustration entitled, Unfortunate COVID-19 Fabrications of Truth that was submitted for American Illustration 40 has been CHOSEN as a winning illustration to appear online as part of The ARCHIVE collection at ai-ap.com
