Wow! I was so excited to rip open the box to get to my Spectrum Silver award. It is SO cool. You can move it around and change the design. I'm so proud of this.

I found out yesterday that not only did I get into Spectrum 17 but I got the silver award in comics! It was for this page from the Cloud Cave comic.

Just found out I got silver in Spectrum's 17th Annual! I got in the comic book section. More on this tomorrow, I'm in pleasant shock. I do know it's from the Cloud Cave mini from the Flying Boat comic.

Yesterday I received my complimentary copy of Spectrum 16 and what a thrill. I've been collecting this annual for years and it means to me the best in the field of fantastic art. I'm honoured to share a page with Chris McGrath, Donato Giancola and Ciruelo.

Also finished up a Harry & Silvio story whicjh might be my last as I'm pretty booked up for a while.More on that later.

Reading My Now-Vintage Writing...
Since my last class reunion, I’ve been getting together with a group of high school friends every few months. A few weeks ago we met at one of their houses and someone brought along a stack of our high school newspapers, Spectrum, for which I was the features editor my junior and senior year. I was a little scared to read the articles I’d written, but once I’d grabbed a stack of papers and searched for my byline I couldn’t quite put them down. My stuff--the alliterative headlines, the essays on first speeding tickets and under-appreciated vending machine candy bars, the channeling-my-inner-teen-psychic horoscopes--was not bad. Not stellar, but decent for 17-year-old me (although I was temped to grab a pen and do just a little editing).
On a recent visit with my sister in Florida, she pulled out a box she had unearthed full of letters I’d written to her when I was in grade school. (She moved down south when she was 20 and I was 11.) The letters were pretty clever and witty, sometime downright hilarious, and rife with recurring themes (and creative spelling). It was interesting to see my young voice in those letters (and to revisit the things that were soooo important to me when I was 12).
When I was in grade school I never had aspirations to become a writer. (I wanted to be a geologist and anthropologist “both at the same time.” I liked rocks and bones.) When I was in high school, I never made declarations that I would have a career in publishing. (Does anyone in high school ever say I want to be an editor?) I had no clue what to do with my life, pretty much until junior year of college. Yet the universe steered me in this direction.
I remember the moment the world of children’s books was reintroduced to me in college—that first day of my Victorian Children’s Lit class, which I took in the summer, Monday through Friday, every day for six weeks, at 7:30 a.m.—and wheels began to turn in my head. But looking back at my early “masterpieces,” I wonder why the younger me didn’t have a clue that working with words was the way to go.
That is cool! Congratulations!
That is very cool! Congrats, Eric :)
Awesome! Well deserved.

Thanks everyone! I actually had no idea there is a physical award so it's that much cooler for me.
So cool, Eric. Congrats!
Thanks Charles!
