SPECTRUM 16 AWARD WINNERS

2009-03-02

The jury has given special recognition for superior achievement to the following artists in each of eight categories. The artists receive a Spectrum Award sculpted by Joseph DeVito which rests on a base sculpted by Tom Banwell with either a gold or silver engraved plate bearing the recipient's name. The jury consisted of Kevin Brimmer [artist/art director Muller Bressler Brown], David Dorman [artist], Donato Giancola [artist/instructor School of Visual Arts], Steven Sanders [artist], and Robert Self [publisher: Baby Tattoo Books].

Works created by the judges (or created under their direction) were excluded from consideration for awards. All of the art selected by the judges will be included in Spectrum 16: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art to be published by Underwood Books in October, 2009.

Please join us in congratulating these exceptional talents!
