Thank you all the judges, an awesome client Microsoft who gave me total freedom, my agent for getting me this job and Matt Rotafor assisting me with coloring.I just found out I won a silver medal from Spectrum 16.When you see my work, you probably don’t think about fantasy or sci-fi, but I was a huge fan growing up, drooling over Frazetta, Boris Vallejo and Jeffrey Jones, reading Moorcock and C.L. Moore. To get accepted into this award is a huge honor and something I wish I can go back in time and tell the 13 year old me.

On the right is the one and only Donato Giancola announcing the awards. Watch the video here, and see all the results here.
