With my recent job loss, I’ve had a little more time on my hands, so I thought it was about time I update this site a little more. Now, before you all freak out (if you hadn’t heard about my job situation yet), there’s no reason to panic… The company simply could not afford to pay me a full salary with benefits. I am still working for them on contract, and may have other contract work on the way shortly. I’m fine.

But enough about that, and onto my post. As of last month, I am officially a published artist, passing yet another milestone in my career.

The illustration work I created for author Francois Kibwenge El-Esu has been printed and is now in distribution in book stores all over. The author was kind enough to send me a personalized copy of the book, with a written note thanking me for the design. I also have my name printed in the foreward of the book. It is a great feeling to see my work out there in the world.

I have acheived a lot in the past two years. I have had my first gallery show (Ann Homan Art Gallery), my first group exhibit (Nuit Blanche 2007), my first creative job (Interaction Artist), and now my first published illustration.

So what’s next for A7?
