Christian Cortes - Atomicus Creative Artist wins the 20K dollar Heineken Prize

YEAH BOY!!!! What a rush that is. Winning the grand prize of a competition for the winner and his crew is euphoric. Specially when we are talking about a good payday. When I heard about the competition I told Chris, our Senior Illustrator and Art Director, about it and he immidiately jumped on it. We went over layouts, I advise him on minor stuff, and he went on a mission. This dude grew a beard while painting, he looked like forest gump when he finished. The day b4 he was nervous and i said to him jockingly: "Nervous about what? You made the deadline and you got a check to pick up tomorrow". Little did I know I predicted his thriumph. I went to cover for SiTV and i had to remain neutral since I wanted to cover the entire event. I think I did a pretty good job in remaining neutral all the way until they anounced he won.... And we party like rockstars after that!!!
