Monday at the Society
MARCH 11, 2009
My two pieces in the show.
I am proud to be part of such amazing shows at the Society and congratulations to all my friends who were accepted into the show and walked out with various medals! Yay! (Clapping!)
A view of the work to be judged from the stage.
Judges Charles Hively taking the process very seriously and Leo Espinosa and Geoffrey Moss discussing....how they can get their hands on the scholarship money.
Friday, May 8th, 6PM is the opening and Awards Gala at the Society of Illustrators and it is free to attend. As usual, all are invited: professionals, students, art directors and the general public. As a note, this show is going to look amazing partially because of the new walls at the Society but with that, I’ve instituted that all artwork for this show must be professionally framed. In the past, only matting or mounting was required. Many judges commented yesterday on how professional the work looked. It’ll be saa-weet!
Go to www.soicompetitions.org to view the winning entries.
Judges looking at the selected few that were up for the $5000 awards.
Randy Gallegos, one of the jurors for this year’s competition, has spent some time writing up his experiences about actually judging the competition on his own blog. For the students that come around here to Drawger and enter the Student Competition, he gives some wonderful insight and his views on the art, the process, fairness and quality of the work being submitted. And photos!
His experiences are in two parts:
Round One Judging
Round Two Judging

I would like to thank all 25 jurors that took the time to help judge this amazing competition and would like to congratulate all the students that were accepted and awarded.
I look forward to May 8th when I am standing up on stage calling out names and shaking the hands of all the students that were awarded. This money could really help jump start a career.
