I am honored to be asked to participate in the
MicroVisions 8
What is MicroVisions 8?
From Greg Manchess:
"For those new to the event, each year, Irene Gallo, Dan Dos Santos, and I
ask a dozen artists to create a 5x7 painting of their choosing. These
miniatures are exhibited at the Society of Illustrators and then placed
on auction with all proceeds
going to the Society’s Student Scholarship
Fund.
The Society Scholarships are among the illustration industry’s toughest
awards. This year, over 8,000 entries were examined by 30 judges. Just
over 200 students will be accepted into the exhibit, and about half will
earn cash awards. Not only do these awards help subsidize students
financially, they also go a long way to boost the confidence of young
artists (and their nervous parents) by proving their voices stand out
amongst thousands of others. It’s not long before you start seeing the
winners on their way to becoming the field’s biggest names. John Jude
Palencar, James Jean, Tomer Hanuka, Dan Dos Santos and hundreds of
others have become noted illustrators since the Scholarship’s inception
in 1981."
Here is a link to the Muddy Colors Blog:
When I was in high school and college, I depended on
scholarships for part of my schooling and extra workshops.
Not only did they help financially, but they also
helped me feel like I had a shot out there in the big scary world.
I am very happy to be able to give back in some way.
Thought I would post a teaser. More to come about my 5"x7" and details about MicroVisions 8.
But please meet the characters who may show up in my painting:
