Whew! I just submitted my entry to the Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search! Lilla Rogers is one of the best agents in the illustration biz, and the illustrator who wins this competition wins 2 years of representation with her, as well three licensing opportunities, a gift/product line, AND a feature in a magazine. AMAZING, I know. So with all that at stake I took my time, got inspired, and created the best piece I possibly could! I just submitted it today and I feel really good about my chances to make it to the next round. Hopefully I’ll be able to post some great news on August 1 when they announce the 50 people who made it through to the second round! In the mean time, here’s a couple process shots, the final submission, and a few close up shots!

Eek! Wish me luck!
