Steven Tabbutt Wins the Silver!
By Morgan Gaynin Inc.
Last Friday night was the opening reception for the Society of Illustrators (the Uncommissioned and Sequential Show), and though it is always a delight to congregate with so many colleagues and friends, we had additional reason to feel jovial - the wonderful Steven Tabbutt was awarded a Silver Medal for his gorgeous image “Infest”. Congratulations, Steven! This is one of the great honors of our industry, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Morgan Gaynin Inc - Things are Movin'
It is so exciting to see one’s work in motion for the first time, and we are very proud of Carlo Stanga who just sent over his very first animated piece. Way to go, Carlo! His clean linework and distinct vision enable this campaign to really grab the viewer, and we hope that the producers are pleased with how nicely it turned out.

Valeria Petrone's Success in Tuscany
By Morgan Gaynin Inc.
Recently, we were excited to announce Valeria Petrone’s exhibition in beautiful Tuscany, and now we are pleased to inform you that the opening was a great success! Valeria kindly sent along a few images from the evening, and we were so blown away to see how seamlessly her distinctive characters transitioned to 3D. Her sculptures look exquisite, and are unquestionably the work of the artist, despite the new medium.
So awesome, right?
Congratulations, Valeria!

Guido Scarabottolo Follows the Grid
By Morgan Gaynin Inc.
Guido Scarabottolo’s highly stylized and conceptual work has graced the pages of the New York Times on numerous occasions, but today’s elegantly written blog by the talented Leanne Shapton was a refreshing celebration of his equal success in the fine art world.
Here's an excerpt from the article discussing Guido's work: I’ve always loved the Italian artist and illustrator Guido Scarabottolo’s playful and poetic work. When I received an announcement of his new show, “Desenhar Desenhos” (“To Draw Drawings”) which opened Nov. 3 and continues until Jan. 30 at the Albergue Santa Casa da Misericórdia in Macau, it was accompanied by one of his fabulous grid drawings, this one of a lone molar. His cityscapes and figures reveal a Saul Steinberg-like existential grasp of the human condition, as well as his training as an architect. The Macau show presents his illustrations, sculptures and a series of 32 of his new black-and-white grid drawings.
