WOW! All I can say is how amazing it is to be recognized as one of the top 25 most influential in the world within this awesome artistry/industry/business! What makes this a real honor is the fact that to be named on the list, the votes are cast by your peers in the industry and the fact that I never once asked for a single vote! The award is based not only on the quality of one’s work, but the influence, inspiration and similar qualities. The ballots are cast and then VERIFIED so there’s not any “ballot stuffing” like other contests and awards…

Anyways, a huge thank you to all who voted! I wish I knew who you all were… now, find out who the 2009 winners are! The announcements were shown on www.eventdv-tv.com in a span of 4 days. Watch them all here! Watch them all, but I was announced on Day4 @ 2:39.
