(Cleveland, OH)  Exciting news!  Faber-Castell’s inspiring video on drawing with PITT® artist pens has received another award – a Silver Telly!  The Silver Telly is the highest award in the Telly competition.  Produced with Think Media, a local video production company, the “On the Go with PITT® artist pens” video features our talented Creative Academy artist Don Colley doing life drawings around the city of Cleveland - on an RTA train, at the West Side Market, and in Public Square.  Done in a bold and vibrant style the 4.29 minute long video captures the excitement of the city as inspiration, while showcasing the versatility of PITT® artist pens for on-the-go artwork.  As Don remarks in the video, “this is the one tool that gives me the biggest range of things I can do!”    

 

The Telly Awards honor outstanding local and regional commercials and video productions selected from over 13,000 entries from the United States and other countries.  Entries are judged against a standard of excellence as determined by The Silver Council comprised of top advertising and video production professionals.  Faber-Castell is thrilled that our “On the Go with PITT® artist pens” video has earned additional recognition as an exceptional piece of work.
