Celebrity Highlights of SCAD

If you haven't heard of SCAD, it's only the biggest school focusing on art careers and allowing your inner artist to grow, flourish, and shoot into that future career!  Whether your passion lies in graphic design, sculpture, voice acting, or painting, the Savannah College of Art & Design has you covered!

I actually have the privilege of knowing two of these distinguished students, who are both extremely talented and passionate about what they do.  I know these two will go far in life in whatever they may choose to do.

Josiah Whitfield is a Motion Media Design major at SCAD with a minor in Animation.  I remember witnessing some of his earliest artwork and being impressed with even those quick sketches he would scratch out.  In watching his art and his animation grow over the years, I've seen Josiah develop his own unique style, with some unmistakable nods to Japanese artist Takashi Murakami.  With "simplicity bursting from the seams", you'll be guaranteed to stare at his art for ages and then come to the simple conclusion that it's a beautiful work of genius and you don't even know why.

Some of Josiah's art will be posted below, but be sure to check out his portfolio by following the link below:

Nene Papelashvili has her aspirations set in Animation for her major and Jewellery as her minor.  I first saw her art on an acoustic guitar that she owns.  I was dumbstruck and wanted to see more, so she showed me one of my favorites, entitled "Delirium".  Nene says that she prefers her works to remain untitled most of the time, and that she doesn't even strike the canvas with any deep or "hidden" meaning behind what she builds; in short: no rules, just be free.  Some of her art will be posted below.  Check it out!
