Florence Through the Eyes of Illustration Undergrad Mark Hernandez

For many years, Mark Hernandez, who has almost finished his BFA in Illustration, mulled over going on a study abroad program. As of this December, he has spent the last four months in Florence, Italy, where he is furthering his understanding of drawing, painting, art history, Italian, and so much more. He managed to get some of his editorial cartoons published in a local newspaper, The Florence Newspaper, as well as an article about his experiences as an American in one of Italy's most beautiful, yet cramped cities.
