“The artist… hit the nail on the head… this mission changed the course of history in the Pacific, so I think the artist covered it beautifully.”

Watch my interview with CBS6 News Albany as I talk about the Sgt. Henry Johnson Commemorative Medal design. Also, in this video, I share about designing coins and medals for America and provide inspiration on how to become an artist with The United States Mint.
“We’re thrilled to be working with an artist of Chris Costello’s talent. There were so many excellent designs to choose from, but our panel of judges felt that his artwork best captured the spirit of how our city is trying to inspire people with the story of Sgt. Henry Johnson.”
