Chris Laporte won ArtPrize 2010!!

I am so happy for Chris! He totally deserved it! That drawing was so technically beautiful, and the story behind it with the enhanced features and the spirit of his father was just incredible. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to talk to him about the piece and to see it up close. He is such an awesome and humble guy. I couldn't have picked a better winner myself. And Svelata was a perfect second place winner. Both pieces were amazing. Actually the 1000 and some pieces were all well done. I'm so proud of Grand Rapids for hosting such an awesome event and of the people around here who understand and appreciate the event. Even if that did make for a VERY long line at the Art Museum last night! :)

Go GR! Congrats Chris! =) You make AQ proud!

Peace.

P.S. GO BLUE!!
