According to an artist E M Biggs: “My professional art journey has been a long, winding one. I started as an animator at SCAD, eager to work my way towards Studio Ghibli. Unfortunately, the studio closed in the middle of my term. I turned my attention towards Disney, but my professors frequently had the same comments: I focused too much on detail and I was too slow. Loving detail too much to leave it behind, I transitioned to concept art.”

“Leaving SCAD after 2 1/2 years (it was a nightmare for other reasons), I returned to Cincinnati, OH. I then attended the Art Academy of Cincinnati for a year, but found that they would not help me achieve my goals. I then applied to the Columbus College of Art & Design and found the perfect fit.”

In the pile of old sweaters and fabric, a particular pattern caught Melissa Bracken’s eye. It looked suspiciously like … those mittens.

Bernie Sanders during President Joe Biden’s inauguration and helped inspire the viral meme. “I happened to have this sweater here and thought,

Eli Harvey: The forgotten Quaker artist … or is he?
Jonathan McKay - Contributing columnist
The name Eli Harvey isn’t as well-known in Clinton County as it once was. He is, though, one of our most famous citizens.
But who was he really? And what did he do to become so famous? Some know he was a painter, sculptor, and Quaker, but what else did he do? Why has he been forgotten by many?
Eli Harvey was born September 23, 1860 to William P. and Nancy M. Harvey. They were a Quaker family like so many others in Clinton County.
Eli took a liking to painting so much as a boy that he went to the Art Academy of Cincinnati, which was founded as the McMicken School of Design in 1869.
