Eric Fortune wins Jack Gaughan Award
Congrats to Eric Fortune. He won the Jack Gaughan Award for Best Emerging Artist of 2008! Thats an amazing honor for such a killer artist. I really look forward to seeing what Eric will come up with in the next year. His style is very infectious and I find myself checking his blog out as much as I can to see any new work he may have. Luckily for his fans he is doing a sketch a day so we can get our daily fix that way.
Make sure you check out his homepage for more amazing works, like the one below.

“Life’s Objective” print by Eric Fortune
Eric Fortune is a graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design, and has quickly become one of my favorite artists. His work will be seen this year in galleries such as Roq La Rue, Gallery 1988, Copro Nason, POVevolving , Ad Hoc and the Cerasoli-LeBasse Gallery. One look at his art easily shows why so many people are excited about his paintings.
A Paper Tiger has just released Eric’s first print. Entitled “Life’s Objective”, this print is 12″ x 16″, signed and numbered in an edition of only 25. The prints from Paper Tiger look amazing in person, and with Eric’s beautiful style this print is sure to go fast.
