Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Bandung-based artist Sandy Solihin has been
awarded the Australian Embassys ModCon Digital Arts Competition prize
for 2017 at a ceremony at Pop Con Asia in Jakarta.
Solihin, a
freelance illustrator and artist, has won a professional development
trip to Australia for his entry Crocoppuccino Party, according to the
Australian Embassy on its official website here on Monday.
In partnership with Pop Con Asia, this year ModCon entrants were
asked to submit a digital artwork that depicts something that is
#AussieBanget. Solihins playful entry combines Australias unique
wildlife with our coffee culture.
The ModCon winner was determined by public voting on the Australian
Embassys Instagram account @KedubesAustralia. Over 20 thousand votes or
"likes" were cast for the 10 shortlisted artists.
The shortlisted artists also had the chance to seek career tips and
get feedback on their work from two visiting Australian digital arts
professionals, namely illustrator and concept artist Charles Santoso and
Simon Allen, who were in Jakarta as guests of the Embassy.
The shortlisted entries can be viewed on Instagram @KedubesAustralia. (WDY)
