At the last Open Swim, on April, 24^th 2014, The CLAW presented their 2014 Student Scholarship Fund to Kenzy Sorensen.  This was the largest scholarship CLAW has presented to date: $1,223. The Talons of the CLAW were very happy to provide this local art student with the mean to help her afford the art supplies she’ll need for her ongoing art studies.

Every year the Emerald City Comiccon puts together an book called “Monsters and Dames”. The proceeds go to charity. All the artist who have tables and booths at the convention are invited to submit work. With 160 artists submitting and only 80 pages available competition is fierce to get inside the book. Both Travis Bundy [Talon #20] and Mark Monlux [Talon #3] were given the sad news today that they did not make the cut. Still, we wanted to share the submission with you.
