Many millions of thanks to Tony Kirk, Master Printer and Artistic Director of the CCP for encouraging me to enter. (And probably for helping my piece to get as far as it did :D )
In the spring of 2009, Tony was a visiting artist at the Hartford Art School, and told all of us in his etching II class to partake in this once-a-year chance to be in an international competition. It would boost our resumes, and by golly, its about time we started. Each piece had a maximum size requirement of 4 square inches. Sadly, I was the only one of my classmates to enter, but it turned out to be a truly amazing reward:
Yup, thanks to T.K., my piece (Hands of Time (near the bottom)) not only made it into the show, but was awarded a purchase prize by Legion Paper.
By the by, the piece isnt listed under G.Silvis (as all of my prints are now) but MOTHOP, which was a funny concept, but a poor choice of alias in the end :/
But regardless, hooray for T.K. pullin some major strings :D
