DIMEL RIVAS IS THIS SPRING’S MASSART EXPERIMENTAL ILLUSTRATION WINNER! SPECIAL THANKS TO BOB MALONEY AND HIS ENTIRE CLASS FOR THE GREAT SUBMISSIONS!
“THE SPANIARD TRADITION IN WELCOMING THE SPRING TIME REVOLVES AROUND THE LAS FALLAS PARADE. A PARADE IN WHICH WHIMSICAL SCULPTURES, FANTASY FLOATS AND CARICATURE COMMENTARY ON POPULAR EVENTS IS CELEBRATED AND DISCARDED OF IN A GRAND BOND FIRE. I DECIDED TO USE THIS CELEBRATION TO INSPIRE MY OWN CARICATURE COMMENTARY ON THE EVER POPULAR 2016 ELECTIONS.”
