Number 13, Maxwells candy, Emrys the dog, a \u201cSlices Come Plain Only\u201d T-shirt. These and other iconic symbols of Colgate and its environs are integrated into this illustration that Attabelle Wasniewski \u201920 created for her good friend Katie Bray \u201cKB\u201d McGhee \u201920. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two spent the final months of their senior\nspring semester at Wasniewski\u2019s family home\noutside of Boston when students left campus\nearly due to the pandemic. Wasniewski, a film\nand media studies and economics double major,\ncontinued to practice her art. McGhee decided\nto commission a piece from her because she\nwanted something to commemorate their\nColgate experiences.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using the digital illustration app Procreate and an Apple Pencil, Wasniewski spent more than a year drawing and fine-tuning the piece. More than 200,000 strokes later, the artwork \u201ccelebrates all the amazing things we did get to enjoy at Colgate, even though it got cut short,\u201d the artist says. There are visual representations of their friendship as well as those that any student or graduate would recognize. (How many can you find?) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI feel like most people can see this and\nbe transported back to their time at Colgate,\u201d\nWasniewski says.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, she works in advertising sales at ViacomCBS and does freelance illustration on the side \u2014 including commissioned work for other Colgate friends. In fact, she just finished a painting of campus for her two friends\u2019 apartment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
