Golden Turtle Competition

I stumbled upon a couple of photos online that show I was a finalist in the Golden Turtle exhibition that was held in Moscow from late July 2014. Although I was told I would receive a printed brochure with all the finalist's work included, I have never received one, and their website is quite hard to navigate since it's in Russian. I was lucky that a couple of random guys happened to be standing in front of my turtle drawing when their photo was taken!

Golden Turtle Competition

On February 25 2014 I was contacted to say I was a finalist in the Golden Turtle Competition. An exhibition of all the final entries was to be held in Moscow on July 27th 2014, where the winner would be announced. I'm still waiting for the results!

My name in the above list is highlighted. I had to put the list through an online translation website to figure out where I was!

Finalist in Golden Turtle competition

Late last year I entered an art competition through Golden Turtle. After I had deciphered the English translation of the rules and submitted my chosen illustrations, I pretty much forgot about it, not expecting to hear from them again. This morning I received an email saying that I had made it through to the 'finale' and they would 'like to know my presence' for the exhibition and opening ceremony on the 27th June 2014. How exciting!

A shame that the exhibition is being held in Moscow and it's therefor not possible for me to attend.

2nd place in Sea Animal Portraits competition!

My turtle illustration got second place in another deviantArt competition! I should really have come fourth, but two people ahead of me got disqualified for not following all the competition rules. Ah well, I'll take it :-)

2nd place in Underwater Life contest

I've just found out that I got 2nd place in an underwater life contest through deviantArt with my latest turtle illustration!

It's hardly a huge deal but it will give me a few features of my work and a little more recognition within the site. And it gives me an excuse to write another blog entry which are pretty few and far between really.

Better than a hole in the head!

Honourable mention in dA competition!

Today I received an honourable mention for my 'Mozambique Spitting Cobra' drawing on deviantArt for the 'African Predator contest'! I did this drawing years ago and it's actually one I want to do again (one day), to include more of the cobra and to add a background.
