Going National

Well, it's official, folks! Eli's got a great photo/ad that will be placed in a national magazine!
For us this is extremely exciting, and we're very eager to see the ad in print.
Eli has been working pretty consistently on ads for magazines or paper publications over the last year or two. Up until now they have pretty much all been local (G Magazine, The Journal, etc), with the exception of one or two. However, this ad will be the first national one to give him photo credits, and you can't beat that!

This April, llyn Strong will be participating in a large show called SOFA, The International Expositions of Sculpture Objects and Functional Art, in New York City. It's going to be a really big show for llyn, and a really big show needs a really awesome ad! Cut to Eli designing the following ad (gorgeous in my opinion!):


Not only did Eli shoot a fantastic and pristine photo (one of llyn's extravagant pieces coupling a functional art piece with a beautiful ornate ring in the shape of an angel's wing), but he also designed this beautiful ad, which will grace the pages of American Craft Magazine on April 1st. We're really hoping that this will bring the business some more widespread attention, and maybe even some national jobs! But either way, having his name in a national magazine is extremely exciting for Eli, and I just can't wait to get my hands on some of those magazines!

We hope you will get the opportunity to check out the ad as well, and be sure to let your friends or fellow artists know to look for it!

Until next time!
