Fred Lynch [’86 Illustration], Senior Critic in Illustration, just sent in some fantastic news about two of his colleagues.

Faculty member Chris Buzelli [’95 Illustration] has won a Silver Medal for Advertising Illustration at the Society of Illustrators 51st Annual Exhibition. Chris’s painting (in animation, above) was created for the Tropen Museum in Amsterdam and is on view through March 29 at the Museum of American Illustration in New York.

Also, as Fred reports, facuty member Jon Foster [’89 Illustration] won a Gold Medal in the Comics category of Spectrum’s 16th Annual Juried Competition of Contemporary Fantastic Art. Jon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer illustration (also in animation, above) will appear with the rest of the honorees in Spectrum 16: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art (Underwood Books, October, 2009).

Congratulations to Chris and Jon and thank you, Fred, for letting us know!
