Alumni News...from Lee Millard

The following is excerpted from an article in the November 13 Press Enterprise:

BERWICK:Lee Millard has come clean: He's the man who erected the memorial to a dead deer along Route 11 two years ago.

And that¹s only a sliver of what he¹s been up to.

In 2003, Millard came up with a campaign sign urging voters to support a fictional ape who hates humans. Then he planted it on a roadside among genuine campaign placards.

He has put Bambi on targets. He has staged a protest against nothing.

"I want people to question their own surroundings the way I do," said Millard, 27, a Bloomsburg University graduate who works as an art director, teacher and waiter.

Some people don't share Millard's enthusiasm. His own mother and grandmother asked, "Why can't you draw something nice, like a covered bridge?"

But Millard says he wants people to ask themselves, "Is this serious, or is this a joke?" He thinks his art is both.

As many of you know, Lee is a graduate of the MFA Program in Painting (he presented his thesis exhibit in 2005). Everyone should check out Lee's work at Lee Millard's Website. Search for "Millard" from that page and you'll see his work. Hoefully, we'll be able to post the full text of the artcicle soon.

Good work, Lee.
