Area man gets surreal, places in international contest
Being surreal has paid off for a Trotwood artist.
Perry Edwards grabbed fifth place in the international NVArt 4 Surreal Competition for his work “Lost in a Good Book,” according the School of Advertising Art in Kettering.
The SAA computer graphics instructor was the only American to place in the digital design competition that challenged participants to create 3D renderings in the style of master surrealist Jacek Yerka.
The contest, a partnership between CGSociety and NVIDIA, received 400 entries from 65 countries, SAA said.
CGSociety is an international organization for creative digital artists. NVIDIA is a global leader in visual computing technologies.
During his 20-year career, Edwards has received seven international awards for his 3D work. His creations have been featured on Nicktoons Network and the Independent Film Channel.
