http://www.storyopolisart.com Storyopolis Entertainment Congratulates its artists Chris Raschka on his newest Caldecott Medal and Anna & Elena Balbusso on the 2012 Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators

Congratulations to Chris Raschka for the 2012 Caldecott Medal. Chris won the award for his book “A Ball for Daisy” published by Schwartz & Wade Books, a division of Random House, Inc.

In a wordless book with huge children’s appeal, Chris Raschka gives us the story of an irrepressible little dog whose most prized possession is accidently destroyed. With brilliant economy of line and color, Raschka captures Daisy’s total (yet temporary) devastation. A buoyant tale of loss, recovery and friendship.

“Chris Raschka’s deceptively simple paintings of watercolor, gouache and ink explore universal themes of love and loss that permit thousands of possible variants,” said Caldecott Medal Committee Chair Steven L. Herb. ‘A Ball for Daisy’ holds as many unique stories as there will be young readers and re-readers. (American Library Association)

The ALA awards the prestigious annual prize “for the most distinguished American picture book for children.” Raschka’s illustration of The Hello, Goodbye Window by Norton Juster won the medal in 2006, and he also earned a Caldecott Honor in 1994 for Yo! Yes?

Congratulations also go out to Anna and Elena Balbusso who have been awarded a Gold Medal in the book category of the Society of Illustrators, ILLUSTRATORS 54 Annual exhibition 2012 for the illustration “Pregnant”, “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood, The Folio Society 2012.

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood is their latest science fiction illustrated book for The Folio Society Publisher, UK. They designed the cover in two colors and 7 color illustrations full-page inside. The book was printed in December 2011 and is already on sale on Foliosociety.com. “The Handmaid’s Tale” was written by the celebrated Canadian author Margaret Atwood in 1985. It’s a dystopian novel set in the near future, in a totalitarian theocracy

Storyopolis Entertainment definitely has an eye for amazing art and the ALA’s award to Chris Raschka as well as the Society of Illustrators Gold Medal to Anna & Elena Balbusso brings that point home. Storyopolis Entertainment owner, Matt Abramowitz has over 10 years in representing some of the world’s most sought after artists. Matt Abramowitz exclaims, “We pride ourselves in representing the Best of The Best and these recent awards to our artists say it all! Congratulations to Chris, Anna and Elena – may you continue to inspire us and fill our eyes and minds with awe!”

Introducing I Love Boston Sports ? The Newest Online Sports Store from Mahlon Williams, Season 2 Winner of Pros Vs. Joes

Introducing I Love Boston Sports – The Newest Online Sports Store from Mahlon Williams, Season 2 Winner of Pros Vs. Joes










Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 11, 2011

With so many sports apparel stores, I Love Boston Sports brings something completely different to the world of sports. With a fresh new take on popular Boston sports teams and one-of-a- kind products, I Love Boston Sports offers fans a new way to support their favorite Boston teams.

When Mahlon Williams began to develop I Love Boston Sports, he wanted to offer Boston sports fanatics something more and something different.

“I Love Boston Sports was formed out of a desire to want more. We couldn’t satisfy our insatiable appetite for more sports gear, so we had to create a place where all of our favorite things are in one place. Let’s face it; more is what being a Boston Sports fan is all about. When our team falls short of a championship, who counts the days until the next season starts? We do.”, said Williams.

These one-of-a-kind shirts have appeared on national television including Saturday Night Live, ESPN, ABC and Good Morning America. Now, every Boston sports fan can get in on the action at http://www.ilovebostonsports.com.

“I promise you that everything you see on this website will be inspired and speak to the passion of every Boston Sports Fan”, added Williams.

I Love Boston Sports began out of Mahlon Williams’ garage after he appeared on the reality show, Pros Vs. Joes. Their product speaks to die hard sports fans that are a tad more cerebral and offers an alternative to other sports apparel sites. Everything on the new website is completely original and unlike any other sports apparel out there. The creative staff at I Love Boston Sports produces inspiring, fun, quality apparel and designs that not only speak to Boston Sports Fans, but can be appreciated by anyone that enjoys quality art.

“Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver?: The Newest Collection: Sterling Silver

“Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver”: The Newest Collection: Sterling Silver











Vintage Sterling Silver and Genuine Blue Topaz Ring


Los Angeles, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 04, 2011

Although Apples of Gold, the online jewelry company, boasts over 5,000 pieces in its collection, most recently it is their newest line—the sterling silver collection—that sparkles and shines. While gold, diamonds, and gemstones will always be the Apples of Gold forte, sterling silver has its own unique appeal. And for jewelry buyers looking for a little luxury in a lulled economy, sterling silver provides an affordable option.

Apples of Gold distinguishes itself in the jewelry market for its ethical pricing principles and commitment to Biblical values. Sterling silver fits into the company’s value-based philosophy while maintaining the integrity of the their signature Scripture verse: “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold, in settings of silver” (Proverbs 25:11). With an eye towards value and quality, Apples of Gold is proud to introduce their line of sterling silver jewelry, with pieces that have been hand-picked for both beauty and affordability.

The new Apples of Gold Sterling Silver Collection features only the finest in .925 sterling silver. Signature pieces include sterling silver cross pendants, fashion rings, earrings, sterling and gemstone rings and pendants, and also many pieces that combine silver and gold. Several items have been crafted by acclaimed jewelry artists and hail from exotic locations such as Hawaii and Israel, giving them a stylish, dramatic flair. As Spring is the season of many first communions and confirmations, sterling silver cross pendants and religious-themed selections take center stage. The line features options to suit a myriad of style and budget preferences.

Says Apples of Gold, founder, Afshin Yaghtin, “While our core focus remains gold, diamonds, and gemstones, we have enthusiastically enjoyed hand-selecting fine sterling silver jewelry pieces that reflect our core beliefs and values. In the upcoming months, we will be adding hundreds of new, contemporary sterling silver pieces!”
