He WON!!!

Do you remember this post HERE.  Well, we found another Percy Jackson contest and sent in his drawing. 

Jake Art2

His picture features some of his favorite beasts coming out of the book in which Percy Jackson fights.  I was impressed by his drawing but after realizing that there would be only ONE winner, I didn't want him to get his hopes up.  But he WON!!!  You can see the link here http://www.percyquest.com/ The prize is a free spot at Percy Jackson's Camp Half Blood in Austin, TX.  Registration for ALL spots have long since been filled, so this is pretty exciting. 

In the book Percy Jackson goes to a Camp Half Blood.  Below is the book's schedule of the camp.

How fun to try and recreate the book, by bringing it to life.  

I'm so excited for him!  I know that even more valuable than the prize which is worth hundreds of dollars, is that huge boost in Jacob's self esteem on how talented he really is at art!
