The School of Visual and Performing Arts along with the faculty from the
Illustration Program would like to congratulate Mike Curato ('03), for being
awarded the
Founder’s Award from the Society of Illustrators Original Art show,
for his new picture book
Little Elliot, Big City (
Henry Holt), the first in a
projected series of three titles featuring Elliot, a spotted elephant. “
To have
been juried into this exhibition is alone a major achievement and should be
celebrated,” stated Dilys Evans the visionary and creator of the Original Art
show. “To be selected by the Founder’s Award jury as the most promising new
talent is a tremendous vote of confidence in an artist’s ability and future in
the field of children’s book illustration.” The
Founder’s Award was created in
2005 and celebrates the most promising new talent in children’s book
illustration.
Mike writes,
"I remember coming to Society of
Illustrators for the first time with the Illustration program's annual trip to
NYC, and it's been a dream to have my work hung there ever since."
Check out a
few images of his book, Brooklyn studio, his poster project from his senior year
and my personal favorite, Mike's window display for the children's bookstore
Books of Wonder in New York City. Mike believes his class was the very first
class to participate in a project that has become a staple for our graduating
class.
