I have been again this year been nominated again as "Artist of the Year" by Lake Oconee Living Magazine.

With your help, we won this award last year. By winning this award, we were able to "break the glass ceiling" into some major art shows that have never before considered or allowed penmakers.

While my request is for personal gain (no cash, just recognition), winning this award for two consecutive years (which has never been done) could help other high end art show more easily accept penmakers, and therefore benefit all of us.

The last day of voting is SEPTEMBER30, 2011. While they do ask for name, name and e-mail address, it is not necessary to provoide them.

The address is : http://www.lakeoconeelivingmag.com
My category is question 5: best artist. please vote: andy little. You do not have to vote in each category. You may vote once for every computer.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Well, what are we voting for? I know it's a pen, but as I have never seen you post a pen on here, I would like to see what I am voting for. I think
It's great that's you have done this, not only once but twice, but im a little curious as to what the pens look like? Any chance of you showing us a pen? I would be happy to vote for you, but again I like to see what I am voting for, not a blind vote :)

Thanks Allan and Bill!
The reason for some many questions is each January, Lake Oconee Living publishes a "Best of Lake Oconee" edition that goes to an international audience. It really does help our tourist area!!!
 
Andy is right about being recognized, both he and I do high end art shows and I was fortunate enough a few years ago to win my class (mixed media) at a very high end show. It not only got me back into that show next year free ($450.00) it paved the way to many other higher end shows.

It is on my "overall body of work", not a specific product. I will post some of the things that I have done in the past.

I think pople just want to see your "overall body of work" to determine if it's worthy of artist of the year title. Can't expect people to just hand you the title if it isn't earned.
 
Here are a few

These are things that you could expect to see on our table on any given day. Not our custom things just stuff that you could expect to see any day. Sorry, away from the computer with the images. I'll post more later.








 
You got my vote, along with a ton more other places I've never heard of...


I had to vote for country music... /holds head in shame.
 
Rob.I will say that the "Musc" award should go to Zac Brown, my friend and neighbor. He is better than the others in his category, but this is really just a popularity contest, so he should win easily.

I voted for you and Zack Brown! Going to see him in concert in a few weeks.
Good luck Andy!
 
Good luck Andy...I cast my vote. Roy is correct in that it raises the profile of the artist and benefits other penturners who are trying to upgrade to the more prestigious shows. In 2008 I was selected as having the best body of work in a show. Small monetary award but I was featured on their website and newsletter and was show cased the following year on the back page of the show catalogue. So there are definite benefits in applying for these contests.
 
:crying: Sorry, I'd like to wave a flag for you but they want TMI - more than I care to give. Looks like they are building a mailing list.
You are definitely an artist - Good Luck.

Gordon:
You don't have to give them ANY information. They will still let you vote.
 
Here's some more

Just got to a computer with some images. Here is some more examples.





I'll post more tomorrow, when I can get to my shop computer with my photoshopped images. These are all just rough shots to get customer's "Ok"s
