Rory Kurtz | Takes 1st Place In Illustration At The Arizona Press Club Awards
May 16, 2010
We are so excited to announce that RORY KURTZ took first place in Illustration at the 2009 Best Journalism in Arizona Press Club Awards presentation last night. We knew that Rory had won one something but we weren’t sure what. The piece called “Saving Alex” was done for the Phoenix New Times. This is what the judge had to say about Rory’s artwork: Beautifully painted image with fantastic lighting that instantly conveys pensive solitude. The oversized orange jumpsuit and teddy bear are very nice touches. This illustration makes you want to know more about the troubled little boy and how he got there.
