Illustration for Cincinnati Magazine Gets in SOI 55

I was looking at the website Drawger an noticed that an illustration from Cincinnati Magazine by amazing young illustrator Victo Ngai got into SOI 55. She also won two gold awards!

Check out the article/small image here: http://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/topdoctors/2012/01/01/breast-imaging

That image and the others that won awards: http://drawger.com/victo/?

The awards are well deserved. Her work is stunning...

Cool Link: State of the Art: Illustration 100 Years After Howard Pyle

From Cartoon Brew: "Last week the Delaware Art Museum debuted an exhibition called “State of the Art: Illustration 100 Years After Howard Pyle.” It will be on view through June 1, 2013. The show is curated by David Apatoff, who takes a cross-disciplinary view of the evolution of American illustration through the lens of eight contemporary artists: Ralph Eggleston, Peter de Sève, Bernie Fuchs, Milton Glaser, Mort Drucker, Phil Hale, Sterling Hundley, and John Cuneo"

Big bonus to those of us unable to make the road trip: exhibition catalog viewable online!!
