Finalist in the international Comic Book Challenge

:iconfenster:

Today my comic "the Bunny Murders" was picked as one of 50 finalists for Platinum Studio's comic book challenge! The contest is a series of three elimination rounds, and the winner gets some sweet prizes, as well as a book deal for the comic. The next step is for me to create a video pitch of my idea that will be submitted by the end of July. If my video pitch gets picked, from that point the winner is decided by web-votes.

I feel strangely ambivalent about actually winning, because I doubt I would be able to return to school like I planned and complete the graphic novel at the same time, but I guess that would be counting my eggs before they hatch and grow into little chickens.

Cheers,

Hey I finally got enough money and wall space free'd up I can finally put a bunch of your stuff on my walls. I've had them saved up forever and can't wait for them to be one of the first things seen when someone enters my house. Thanks for allowing me the privilege.

stop by and see the gallery that all the meth heads are raving about.

Hey Ben your work is great - I know your dad and he talks about you all the time so I figured I'd better get around to seeing your DA gallery ;D Color me impressed! (or don't and just leave me black and white - your preference!)

Wow, it is a small world! I remember you and your cool Victorian designs - you did the maquette with the girl on the bench reading a book, right?
Hope your semester is going well, I took the semester off to take an animation job with NPR (weird right, animation for a radio station) but I plan to be back in the new year. Your paintings are quite nice!

I took the semester off too! Not for something as cool as NPR, just because Financial Aid screwed me and wanted 8000 dollars, but I'll be back for my last and final semester in the Spring. How much longer do you have?

Ah that sucks, glad that you'll be back though. I have about a year and a half left to get my degree, so still a ways to go.
