Division Avenue High School junior Lyndsey Petrofsky was recently informed that her art contest entry had been selected to appear on a billboard in Times Square.
Petrofsky had earlier followed up on a Twitter post by Sharpie, encouraging student-artists to submit drawings relating to the popular boy band One Direction while utilizing the company’s markers.
She rendered her drawing using both fine and thick Sharpie markers, then submitted it to the company. A day later she received the following Sharpie tweet: “Loved your drawing. Here’s what it looked like in Times Square.”
Lyndsey’s artwork can be viewed online here.
