So there was this local gallery for "Up and coming local artists" here in Miami. You needed a buncha references from professors and critics to get in, and I got lucky that I knew enough to get my work in. You could submit up to six, and then a judge and jury would decide if any of them got into the next issue of Miamibiance. The other work was top knotch, so I didn't expect any to get in the magazine. I got this in my email yesterday.
Camilo,
I would like to congratulate you on having the following pieces accepted into the artwork for Miambiance 2009:
Spray Can Love
Anna Cardinal
Play Stop Pause
D
Coffee Anna
Coffee Practice 2
Since all six of your submitted artwork was accepted, this means you will have a portfolio of your work featured in the magazine and will be entered into state and nation-wide contests next year.
The above art pieces will need to be professionally photographed and resubmitted in electronic form to Miambiance as soon as possible. If you are able to have them professionally photographed, please email me back to let me know. If not, Miambiance is currently working with the photography department to set a date for when these photos can be taken. I will contact you with further information when it becomes available.
Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your artwork,
Nicole [Edited out for her privacy]

If you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this email or contact me at [same deal]
