Santiago Uceda - 2 award winning animations!
Santiago Uceda and his team at Oregon State University won the gold in the CASE Awards for their TV spots - Santiago co-directed the spots, did all of the illustration and tackled the animation process with the help of his team. CASE is the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, and for those in academia it's the equivalent of what Communication Arts or the Print annual are for us creatives :)

Mariya Paskovsky illustrates the Green Fairy
Our Group of Illustrators recently started a long term promotional blog illustrating cocktails and mocktails from around the world. The Green Fairy, illustrated by Mariya Paskovsky, is the second installment in this year-long (or longer!) endeavor.
The Green Fairy is the English translation of La Fee Verte, which was the affectionate French nickname for Absinthe in the late 19th century (and even still to this day). During that era it was the drink of choice among many well-known artists and writers, such as Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Oscar Wilde, ...

Calef Brown illustrates for CFO Magazine
Calef Brown recently created 3 illustrations for the February issue of CFO Magazine. The stories were about rather dry subjects, such as accounting oversight, companies hiring more financial planning and analysis people, and corporations using the computer dashboard interface to monitor their businesses. In Calef's own words, "My challenge was to create engaging illustrations to show the concepts simply and engage the reader. To add variety I gave each of the three pieces a distinct, but related, color palette."
We love the outcome, and think these illos are anything but dry!

Cathie Bleck illustration for Poetry Magazine 100th Anniversary Cover
from Cathie's blog:
It was an honor for Cathie Bleck to be selected to do one of the covers for the 100th Anniversary issue of Poetry Magazine and especially to be the first one. Felix Sockwell, who is a fellow Drawger, already did a fabulous post and piece previously, so you might want to check out that article.
The assignment was to interpret the Pegasus in any way, shape or form as long as it could be overprinting the 100 design produced by the wonderful art director, Alex Knowlton of Winterhouse.
Here is the final piece for the project:
These are copies of the final piece designed by Alex Knowlton, as well as a beautiful folder with an embossing of the artwork, designed by Michael Renaud.
In there was written, "Poetry magazine presents new work by the most recognized poets, but its primary commitment is still to discover new voices. In the words of critic Adam Kirsch "Poetry Magazine has done what long seemed impossible ... it has become indispensable reading for anyone who cares about American literature".
We are so proud that Cathie had a part in highlighting such a great publication!

Kim Rosen illustrates Holocaust Memories

| Kim Rosen - Holocaust illustration |
"My Mother is Drenched in Memories of the Holocaust"
This illustration accompanies a very sad story of a Holocaust survivor who could never forget her past. The author writes about his 90 year old mother who's life has been an extended version of the false identity she was forced to assume during the Nazi occupation of Hungary. Through the last half of her life, this survivor has suppressed her agony and heartbreak and managed to get by with a forced smile. Thanks again to Cinders for always giving me thoughtful stories to illustrate.

Livia Cives in NuRant Magazine
Livia Cives illustrated a new piece for the January 2012 issue of Nu(r)ant magazine, which focuses on different points of view of the apocalypse.
The article illustrated by Livia was about a personal apocalypse in which the main character, a young girl, was on the brink of collapse thinking about her life.
Livia chose to portray the character as being dragged to the bottom of the ocean attached to a mine, which symbolizes her 'weighted' problems.
