FISH JUDGING!

I'm judging this year's Fish Publishing One Page Story Prize. 300 words. Closes: 28th February. More here.

'Fish' in theNewerYork

Big Fish - Jeremy Enecio

My short-short story 'Fish' features in theNewerYork. And the illustration with it, by Jeremy Enecio, is very cool, methinks. Jeremy was born in the Philippines and moved to the USA at the age of four. He holds a BFA in illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore; he now lives and works in New York as a freelance illustrator.
