5. Excellence in Art: A First Place Award

Tue Jun 10, 2008, 11:28 AM
At the behest of my friends in the Dallas, Texas, and Rockville, Maryland areas, I am writing this new Journal entry. They have urged me to share my achievement and joy with the rest of the world, via DeviantArt.

The Texas Sculpture Association held its 25th Anniversary Membership Show at the ArtCentre in Plano, TX. My sculpture, Lest we forget, which is in this gallery, won the First Place Prize.

The honor was special to me, because it was awarded not by a panel of judges, but by a vote of the other exhibitors, my peers. These peers are the best sculptors in Texas, turning out fantastic bronze figures, statues in stone, abstracts in stainless steel and wood, and more.

My gratitude and thanks go out to them for bestowing this cherished honor on me. I am indeed proud to have them as associates.

Thank you so much for the feature. I get validations on this piece and it feels incredibly good. You see, Keyboard Wizardry was rejected by some idiot judges in the first show it was entered, because they refused to believe it was made on a lathe, and wouldn't place it. I like to rub it in by sending them comments like yours. I've gotten some 5,000 hits on this 'loser'.

You can do anything you want to do, and be good at it, if you put your mind to it.
Doesn't sound like they were qualified to be judges in the first place, hmmm. :hmm:
