So, AYAA was a success! Three of my pieces won: 2nd place for a pen and ink realistic, 3rd place for my sketchbook, and 4th place for a conte realistic piece. I'll post the pieces eventually.
Also, my YAA piece will be showing at a gallery later this month.
And, I was accepted into AGS this summer, so I'm excited about that.
Things are looking up for me, and I hope that continues.
