Professor of Art, Christopher M. Register, completed his series of relief engravings: Scoundrels: 25 portraits of the Human Contradiction. 
In October the entire series was previewed in a one-man show at the JFergeson Gallery in Farmville Virginia.
In December, five of the portraits were selected for publication in issue #84 of the River Styx. “River Styx, now entering its 36th year, is a tri-annual, non-profit, multicultural literary and arts magazine based in St. Louis. Issues run 100-120 pages, 6×9, perfect-bound, with glossy four-color covers and 15-20 pages of visual art in each issue. River Styx publishes the work of approximately 60 poets, 20 fiction and essay writers, and 20 visual artists yearly.” (http://www.riverstyx.org)
In addition, in February, five other pieces were accepted to the “Faces” international online exhibit at the Upstream People’s Gallery. Two of those prints received special recognition from juror Larry Bradshaw.
In April 2011, two Scoundrel prints were accepted to the 31st Annual National Print Exhibition at Artlink in Fort Wayne Indiana. The engraving, “R.R. Barnett” won one of 15 awards from juror Randy Bolton, Head of the Print Media Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art.
