Krylon Art Scholarship opportunity

As we move my blog over to the Copic site you will notice a few small changes. First, I will be adding categories: Stamping/Papercrafting, Fine Art, Professional Design, Comic Drawing, general Product knowledge etc.

This will be in addition to the regular Beginner, Advanced, and other categories. This is a means of helping ALL Copic users out there, not just a small demographic and makes it easier to search through posts for useful stuff. I still love all of you, but we want everyone to feel like they are growing in their knowledge of art supplies.

We also are striving to be a resource for students choosing an art-career field and help them have the guides they need to succeed. To further this goal I would like to pass this information on to any student looking for scholarships in art. This is from Krylon and was passed on to me (Copic has no affiliation with this scholarship). Good luck to students! If any of you hear of opportunities like this, please pass them along as well so that we can help anyone improve their art knowledge:

Dear Designers,

Below is a release about a new scholarship opportunity from Krylon. Please
pass the information along to any high school seniors and college students
you know who are pursuing a degree in fine arts. Thank you.
