Jimmie wins @ the Salmagundi
 
Seems like I just did this.

Oh yes, I did just a month ago - just a different show.

Congratulations Jimmie!

His drawing "Korinne2" has won the Don Donaldson Memorial Award at the Salmagundi's Thumb Box Show in NYC - opens today I believe.

I did not find an image of his drawing so maybe he will come on later and post one.

This is getting to be quite a habit Jimmie! Way to go! :thumbsup:

Wow! Congratulations, Jimmie!

Yeah, Jimmie! A nice shot in the arm, huh? I am so happy for you!! ;)

Thanks Kim for taking the time to post this (actually I now owe her a foot massage)

And thanks Alex and Pat!

Here's the image, I honestly don't remember the final size after the drawings were matted. They were 9x12" with more negative space, but I was trying to keep them uniform so I cut the mats to fit the frame better, but never recorded the size. duh.

What's funny is, if you look at the signature, I accidentally left the guide lines I used to make sure the signature was level. It happened in both drawings. Maybe I should always leave them in from now on!

Jimmie, this is fantastic news! What a strong drawing, I'm not surprised it won this award. You are really on a roll. Big congratulations!

I think it's great - it'll, like, be your "signature look"... What a concept.

Oh, and, uh, nice drawing. Congrats on the award! ;)

Great news, Jimmie!--TE

Good grief Jimmie,
I think you could make a living as a professional portrait contest winner and never have to sell another drawing! Beautiful subject in this one and your drawing did her justice it appears.

Great job!

Congratulations Jimmie! You're sure making a habit of this winning thing! :thumbsup:
