On a whim, I entered "The Dears", a papertoy collaboration I did with Ben the Illustrator, into this year's American Illustration, and it got in(!?!). Onto the website, not the book itself, but still I'm quite pleased. Apparently (from the email they sent out), "it was one of only 583 images from a record-breaking 8,100 submitted" to make the cut.
Woot!
I say next year, everyone here submit and we can take the thing by storm!
What a pleasure to see this caliber of collaboration and art. This is just solid work, all the way around. Congratulations! ( and not a bad idea about seeing what other exposure outlets our "hobby" can explore...)
A major accomplishment. You make all of us proud by crossing the boundary from the world of paper toys to the world of illustration. We know there is no difference, but it is a wonderful thing that you have gotten "them" to realize it too. Congrats to you both.
