Kidnapping Illustration "Seized" Award

Seized illustration by Graham Smith

The Arizona Press Club awarded "Seized" a second place nod in the Best Illustration category, as judged by the design staff of the Los Angeles Times.

Thanks Arizona Press Club! Illustrating this frightening kidnapping story (and all that fur) in a bold, graphic composition was really fun. The best part was collaborating with the super talented Peter Storch while illustrating this compelling story.    Read more about how this illustration was created...

Judges: “An overwhelmingly arresting image. The combination of the tiny chick peering from the unescapable fangs of a terrifying wolf is harrowing. You can't help but be drawn into this story.”
