Hey Everyone this is my first Blog for the Artistik Envy competition so I will keep it short and simple.

So far the competition has been fun and I am learning a lot.  I did better in round 1 then in round 2

in the Judges eyes, but they all said I am growing as a presenter so that is good.  I like the challenges, they

are good practice for creating something on a deadline and that is cool.  I think everyone in the competition

is doing great work, and I think the winner will have earned their spot for sure.  I would like to thank everyone

who has supported me and put positive comments about my work, it is very encouraging and fun when

you learn someone likes your creation.  Even if I dont make it into the next round, I think this competition

has been a great experience and I take away a lot from it.

Thanks,

Rick
