Archive for the ‘awards’ CategoryEdit! Raul Colon Honored by the Society of IllustratorsTuesday, August 17th, 2010Your humble blog mistress apologizes, as she accidentally forgot to mention that Raul Colon has also been honored by the 2010 Society of Illustrators Original Art show for his work on “Child of the Civil Rights Movement”. High five, Raul! You can purchase this gem here.
Susan Gal Recognized by the Society of IllustratorsTuesday, August 17th, 2010Susan Gal’s furry friend has been recognized once again, and we couldn’t be happier! Her delightful story, “Please Take Me for a Walk,” has been selected by the Society of Illustrators to appear in the Original Art show. The Original Art show celebrates and showcases outstanding contemporary children’s book illustration, and anyone familiar with this wonderful “tail” can certainly appreciate the honor. Congratulations, Susan!
Steven Tabbutt’s Clean SweepWednesday, May 26th, 2010We here at MGI are officially blown away by Steven Tabbutt’s mounting success. Every few weeks or so, it seems that Steven would contact us with news of yet another award under his belt. This morning, when he announced that he has also been accepted into the 3×3 Annual, it also signaled the fact that Steven has made it into literally every Illustration and Fine Art contest that he has entered this year, including American Illustration, the Society of Illustrators, Society of Illustrators Los Angeles, Applied Arts, Communication Arts, Spectrum, New American Painting, Studio Visit, 3×3, and Creative Quarterly. After scooping our jaws off the ground, what can we say but CONGRATULATIONS, STEVEN! Your distinctive vision and incredible work ethic are tremendously inspiring, and it is heartwarming to see you receive the recognition that you most absolutely deserve. Hip Hip Hooray!

And congratulations once again to this year’s winners. “Night Lights” Nominated Once AgainWednesday, April 14th, 2010Susan Gal must be getting pretty excited for Sunday’s Awards Ceremony! Her charming picture book “Night Lights” has been nominated for the Northern California Book Award in Children’s Literature as one of the best works by a northern California author published in 2009. Say that 10 times fast! The 29th Annual Northern California Book Awards will be held April 18th at Koret Auditorium in the San Francisco Main Library at 1pm. Good luck, Susan! We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed. (ceeeeeelebrate good times, come on!)
Patti Mollica and Golden PaintsMonday, April 12th, 2010Golden Paints offer both artists and art enthusiasts a unique opportunity through their “working artists” program, which sends painters out into the world to conduct lectures and demonstrations at various arts organizations, universities, and colleges free of charge. In addition, hands-on classes are offered in which participants are introduced to various lines of acrylics within the Golden family and the diversity of effects achieved. Our very own Patti Mollica decided back in July of 2007 that this was an ideal job for her, so she began to contact the Golden company. Like so many others, she was ultimately told to wait in line, as “everyone wants to be a Golden Working Artist”. Patti rose to the challenge, and for the last 3 years regularly called and emailed the program’s organizers. Continually restating her enthusiasm and qualifications, her tenacity finally proved successful. Congratulations are in order for Patti Mollica, Golden’s newest “Working Artist”. The artist, working:
Steven Tabbutt Included in the Society of Illustrators 52 Traveling ExhibitionFriday, April 9th, 2010It seems that our rather tacky joke about Steven Tabbutt’s rabbits going and going was pretty accurate. The latest news surrounding his stunning creation “The Incident” is that it is one of only 40 pieces to be included in this year’s Society of Illustrators 52 Annual Traveling Exhibition. Congratulations, Steven! “The Incident”:
Creative Quarterly Includes Beppe GiacobbeWednesday, March 31st, 2010It seems that we announced acceptance into Creative Quarterly 19 a bit prematurely. We have recently shared Steven Tabbutt’s inclusion, but the wonderful Beppe Giacobbe has also had two of his works selected as “winners”. Congratulations, Beppe!
Anson Liaw UpdateThursday, March 25th, 2010Anson Liaw has updated us regarding his “Music by Women” image. We recently announced that it had been accepted for inclusion into the 2010 Xto Image Awards, but it turns out that the piece has finished 2nd and 3rd place in two different illustration categories! The Xto Image Awards Exhibition will be held at the Robert Berman Gallery in Santa Monica, CA, from April 1-7, with an opening reception on the 3rd from 7-10 pm. Congratulations Anson!
