Derrick Little's artwork on the cover of Pacific San Diego Magazine

Derrick Little. Little ends up taking first place in Pacific San Diego Magazine's first "Whet Paint" art contest in which both Amy Galpin (project curator for American Art at the San Diego Museum of Art) and myself had a hand in its outcoming. Twas a unanimous decision and quite an easy one as there was hardly (if at all) dissent amongst Galpin and I as we picked and choosed our way through many fine works of art. The magazine's editor David Perloff and editorial intern Christina Dylag made the whole process quite painless and more than enjoyable. I want to thank David, Christina and my co-juror Amy for bringing some much needed attention and validity to San Diego's artists. Bravo! and keep it coming.
