Well I am not a real loser anymore

To my surprise I actually won something today. I am one of the winners of a Montreal wide design competition. Its a competition called Onetop that challenges designers and artists to use an uncomon medium, the t-shirt, as a base for their work. This years theme was society and I had submitted three pieces so hopefully this will get me somewhere better than luggage sales. There are 30 winners, which sounds like alot but there are hundreds if not thousands who enter and this damn city is saturated with people who are more talented than me. The advantages are a big vernisage, 2 months of exhibition space, a free t-shirt of my design and 20% of all profits from the sale of my shirts. It gets a bit of coverage in the design world too so I am pumped.
