I was very upset not to see your entry in the 25 finalists because I planned to campaign for you on FB and twitter. Seeing what the judges chose, I realize that they seemed to lean towards gorier, deeply disturbing phantasmagoric.
I think your art celebrates humanity's potential to be better than they are, so this probably wasn't the best fit for you. I think this is excellent work and will find its proper place - maybe in a story book about cats or the supernatural. It's not the typical shock schlock!
