2. Showcase: Close 2 My Art Hearts

I was on the search for Valentine's Day hearts inspired showcase, when I bumped into the wonderfully imaginative world of Michelle Allen. I ended up going through almost all her delightful, quirky, art and creations, and if I could I'd have them all in my home. For the moment I shall have to satisfy myself with sharing them with you ... here are a few of her whimsical love pieces ...

How cute are they? Seriously, as soon as I can I'm hopping back to her website and getting myself some of these happy-making lovelies. I'll leave you with the links to her sites so that you can go through the rest of her goodies. I don't get a thing from your clicks or purchases, I just really love her creative sense of play. Have fun!

3. Portfolio Showcase Winners

An esteemed panel of judges (possessing much expertise and very good taste) pored over portfolios yesterday to choose winners for the SCBWI Portfolio Showase! Laurent Linn, Steven Malk, Richard Jesse Watson, Nancy Conescu and Jamie Weiss Chilton chose a grand prize winner and three honor winners as well as several illustrators to participate in SCBWI's illustrator mentorship program.

Note that mentorship recipient Julianna Brion won an SCBWI student scholarship (one of three winners), awarded this year for the first time. And she's the recipient of both a portfolio honor and mentorship. Also note that honor winner Joen Deininger was a mentorship winner last year. (The wonderful SCBWI Illustrator Committee programs yield results!)

Here are the recipients...



Grand Prize Winner: ELIZA WHEELER

Portfolio Honor: GREG PIZZOLI

Portfolio Honor & Mentorship Recipient: JULIANNA BRION

Portfolio Honor: JOHN DEININGER

4. Art Showcase Award Winners Announced!

This is always one of my favorite moments of the conference. There is huge, huge talent in our organization, and it's so much fun to look at all the work people bring to the show. There were more than 200 pieces of art in the show this year--the most ever.

Priscilla Burris, the chair of the illustrator's committee and an SCBWI board member, said it was a tug-of-war to choose a winner because the entries were so good, and they chose three honor award recipients instead of the usual two. 

Feast your eyes on the winners, and be sure to visit their sites--their names are links:

GRAND PRIZE:
Leeza Hernandez




She'll have three appointments with art directors in New York, and the SCBWI will cover her travel expenses (all the way from New Jersey).


HONOR AWARDS:
Kelly Light



Greg Pizzoli
