The results just came in:

I was awarded a SPJ (Society of Professioal Journalist's) National Mark of Excellence Award for Editorial Cartooning.

I won first in my region back in March (New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming) and then they sent me to nationals.

There was one National Winner (I will get him next year!!! :evil2 ) and then two national finalist's; myself and another cartoonist fool.

I am off to the National Convention in October to accept the award................................I am thinking a massive carivan down :devillook :rolleyes :D

There were 3100 students that entered the competition total: ranging from Sports writing (which one of my fellow writers won as well) to Best Daily Paper, etc.

Very cool! How long does it take you to do one of those Sketches?

To keep it cost productive for myself I try to do them in an hour or under. that includes: brain storming ideas, conception sketches, rough sketch, inking, and then marker.

It also depends on how much work I am doing at one time. I drew caricatures of the whole U basketball team and did them in a couple of hours.

Incrediable. Not only are you Talented your F-A-S-T!111
