In a heavily juried call for artists, Edwin was recently selected as one of the top 68  artists out of 15,000+ entrants world-wide and his work is now featured on one of the most highly acclaimed art marketing website and blogs in the industry, Artsy Shark.com. Fifty of the artists were named as "Featured Artists" and received a blog article on the site plus a one-on-one mentoring session with the site's founder, Carolyn Edlund.  Edwin and 17 other artists were also chosen as outstanding artists and were featured collectively in an article called "The Creative Process".  You can view the story by clicking on the following link:   the-creative-process This was quite an honor and we just love Artsy Shark and Carolyn for all the work they do and the amazing information the site provides for artists.  
Hi everyone!  Just wanted to write a quick note to tell you about some exciting news we received over the weekend from Artsy Shark.com, one of the premier artist marketing sites on the web.  Once or twice a year they issue a "Call for Featured Artists", where thousands of artists from around the world submit their art for a chance to be featured on this juried site.  (Juried is a term that basically means the artwork is heavily judged/screened by a panel of experts in the art world with very strict standards for acceptance.) Out of all the submissions, only 40-50 will be chosen to be featured artists.   They receive a featured article on themselves and their artwork, as well as one-on-one marketing help from the owner of Artsy Shark.

Phase 3 Emerald Island Casino project in Henderson, NV

3rd phase of 4 complete - finally!  This job is massive!  A County Cork, Ireland theme that is about 500 ft. long by 20 ft. high but is around the exterior of the casino on 4 sides, all with thick landscaping and ground cover that's like the rock you see at the side of freeways.These rocks are used specifically to deter anyone from walking or thinking of waking on them - check it out some time -   very difficult.  So I'm getting good at not tripping! And where there isn't landscaping or rocks, there are other obstacles and crowds! So I've been doing it early in the mornings, like 3 a.m. to 9 a.m..  It lessens the liability, less people, etc. So here are some pix - I hope you like them!  I hope it's good...I can't tell.  I've been staring at it for weeks.  I need a fresh eye and a couple of weeks away from the project to reset the visual aptitude.  But it photographs well.  What do you think?
