Sure, Awards Look Nice on a Shelf

Yesterday, I attended the Apex Awards luncheon at Pine Ridge. The Awards are put on by the Lake Communicators, an organization I've been proud to be part of for over five years now. Every year, they recognize the best advertising and communication work in Ohio.

I won two awards yesterday, the Silver and the Gold in the Illustration category. I won the Silver for the CleveLand ilustration I did for Scene Magazine and I won the Gold for the Grand Theft Auto Tremont cover, which I also did for Scene (and I'm told resulted in their best circulation numbers ever). It's always great to do good work, and it's fantastic to be recognized for it.

I also met Brad Colbow, talented designer and illustrator. What was odd about our meeting is that we both follow each other on Twitter, and that's how we knew each other. I know Twitter is part of online social networking, it was just cool to see it transferred to in-person social networking.
