20 x 30 in, Mixed Media, by Tatiana EL-Khouri 2008 

Collection of the Pentagon

Commissioned by the Air Force Program

Above is the final painting I created for the US Air Force. It was presented at the Air Force Art Gala in Washington DC at Bolling Air Force Base along with 150 talented artists. Visiting the Nation's capital and being among so much history made me very proud of my artistic contributions to the country and its brave servicemen and women.

As the Show Chair for the Society of Illustrators Las Angeles, it has been a labor of love organizing Illustration West 47. The Student Call for Entries are currently being accepted. For more information please download the PDF here: http://www.si-la.org/Student_CFE.pdf

The Professional Call for Entires will be opening soon. We have an exciting caliber of judges lined up for this years competition that reflect the diversity of our categories from art directors, entertainment executives, illustrators, editors, and comic book professionals.

We have combined two existing categories, Entertainment and Visual Development, into one category. Doing so has allowed us to add a brand new category, Comic Books/ Graphic Novels. This year will be our first year having presence at San Diego Comic Con with an exhibitor booth and panel.

We are booth #2616. We will be in the main exhibit space located across from and next to Dark Horse Comics, Bongo Comics / Simpsons, and the industry machine known as Marvel Entertainment.

Our Panel:
Saturday, JULY 26 3:30-4:30pm
ROOM 30AB

Career Day

I had the pleasure of presenting at a wonderful Career Day to 3rd - 5th graders. It really excited me to be invited to present my career as an artist and designer to the students among lawyers, city planners, bankers, and a multitude of other traditional jobs. The students openness and intrigue of the arts was very refreshing.
