A hearty congratulations to Sally Jablonsky, one of my uber-talented students at PNCA. She created this poster for one of our class projects, and it was selected from thousands of entries as one of the winners of the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition show. This is a definitive collection of the best student illustration work in the country.
The assignment was to "create an image for any organization whose mission you support" -- and Sally created this poster for an organization she not only supports but directs. Yes, the Try Harder Society. I'm a proud card-carrying member, and Sally's work is a testament to what can happen when you do so!

Upcoming Continuing Education class at PNCA:
Illustration Painting, Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30 - 9:30pm, June 16 - July 21

Please come celebrate Orlo's beautiful new space!
