Did you hear about SCAD-Con? The Savannah College of Art and Design just released the press release for a 2011 date. It’s over a year from now, but with so much time in between, I’m hoping to see plenty of exhibitors, artists, and more announced.

Enjoy your spring break everyone! SCAD strategically plans break to take place during the week of St. Patrick’s Day, because the city’s festivities are a huge distraction. With tourists flooding downtown from all over the country, and drunkards humiliating themselves in public, it’s hard to ignore the celebration. Luckily for some of us, we left the state of Georgia or even the country to escape from the “Mardi Gras” of Savannah. Spring quarter begins Monday!

Viral | Alum Elena Barbarich created a Lady Gaga-inspired illustration based on the song “Telephone”, featuring Beyonce. The blogosphere has exploded, with Lady Gaga herself tweeting the image and calling it “completely brilliant“. I’m sure Elena has made a ton of page views from this endorsement
