Juana Medina Wins Kennedy Scholarship
RISD student Juana Medina has won the inaugural Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship from the National Cartoonists Society Foundation. The $5000 award will be presented to the young cartoonist at this year's Reubens dinner. Kennedy was Editor at King Features Syndicate and a much-admired underground comix scholar who died in 2007 in a tragic swimming accident. Samples of Medina's work can be seen here.
