Hero TV Comics creation Winner

I won!
I had the chance to win several awards and medals before but it's my first time to get some sort of trophy (I call it "THORpy") for an art contest!
The contest ran the course of 2 months where our page entries got exposed on the internet for weekly votes by readers. I got a weekly vote that won't even reach 10 even if I voted and that really drained the inspiration out of this starving artist week after week- specially when looking at the multitude of voters for the leading entries. In the end my entry entitled "Big Fat Ben" made me climb the stage for "Best Art" and "Overall Winner!" So the "I Am Hero Comics creation contest" by HERO TV ended the Metrocomicon 2011 with me having the biggest smile!
So here I am sitting with my THORpy! I also won 17,860 pesos ($380) of Gift certificates that I can't use here in Baguio; 2 t-shirts that don't fit me; and a pillow that's too small for any practical use! I'm not complaining. I can use the bag, and the TV interview and exposure would certainly give me a new, much improved resume!
My mom wasn't impressed with the prizes specially as she spent for all my materials and my fare going to Manila for the event. "Think about it if the contestant from Davao won, he'd be crying over the useless prizes!" is what she said. Well... I got to go look for a job now.
