(You may notice that this is an evolution from my eye tattoo illustration)
The winner will be announced later this year but I doubt my chances of winning are slim as the competition looks pretty good. Nevertheless, was happy to make it to the shortlist, period. :)

All I can say is - hope you enjoy browsing through the stuff! :)
ISH magazine is a lifestyle/events magazine (distributed mostly in the Asia Pacific region) covering the spectrum of art, design & lifestyle.

YAY!!)
