General Info, , , , , , , ,

Parsons Illustration Alum and current Adjunct Faculty member George Bates has a lot going on these days.  He sent along images from a project he’s working on for the MTA and we wanted to share them all with you!  Here’s the scoop from George’s blog:

Recently I traveled to PETERS GLAMALEREI STUDIOS in Paderborn Germany to oversee a public art project for the MTA subway station in Rockaway Beach, New York. Directly below is the original art I created that will be painted on glass blocks and installed in the spring of 2010. The following images show the initial fabrication process, some glass experiments I did while I was there…

Keep up the amazing work, George!

spagheddie-muralIllustration Alum Ed Miller (’86) sent in this email with an update about his work with the Spagheddie Art Group and New York Cares:

The Spagheddie Art Group was at it again recently, this time at PS 111 in Manhattan (53 St. bet. 9 and 10 Aves.)

The Spagheddie Art Group is a group I organized of my artist friends who volunteer their time and talents to paint murals at NY City public schools. Our mission is to help make the schools a more colorful place for learning. Our assignment was to turn a shack in the playground into a barn. I’m very proud of the work this group does.

in progress!
