Shawn Turek Featured for May

[AustinShurtliff]

The featured student for May was Shawn Turek! The Q&A with Shawn(@DRAWNBYSHAWN) is up on the blog. Below is an introduction to the Q&A that Kathryn Adebayo (@KATHRYNADEBAYO) conducted with Shawn:

"There are some artists on the SVSLearn forum who consistently post incredible work in a style all their own. If you’re familiar with the forum or the SVSLearn monthly illustration contests, you may instantly recognize the work of one of these illustrators, Shawn Turek. Enjoy the chance to get to know him and his stories, insights and advice in the following Q&A."

Read the whole Q&A on the blog.

The featured student post for July is looking pretty empty right now. Head over to the post and share your work for a chance to be featured for July! Submissions are due by June 30th.

Congratulations @drawnbyshawn, love your work! Your self character portrait as a Star Wars character looks pretty awesome!

Congrats Shawn! Your work is so distinct and I always look forward to seeing what you produce for the contest.

[drawnbyshawn]

@Jeremy-Ross Thanks! Yeah, that one was pretty fun. (That was unexpectedly one of the most fun things I did at Disney.)

[drawnbyshawn]

@drawnbyshawn congrats! It is great to see you being recognized. I have loved seeing your work in the arena each month. Especially since meeting and talking to you at SCBWI.

[drawnbyshawn]

@theprairiefox Thanks! For an introvert like me, events like the SCBWI conference are a good excuse to push myself to actually meet people in person. Of course, now we have a hiatus on in-person events, so we'll see when we can do that type of thing again.
