ICON 5 | NYC | 08 | THEILLUSTRATIONCONFERENCE.ORG (July 2-5)
The ICON5 Illustration Conference is coming up this July in New York. I just signed up. I went to ICON4 in San Francisco in 2005, and it was amazing. Great workshops with top illustrators, practical information about promotion & legal issues, and fun networking with other artists from around the world. You can see some images from the ICON4 in this set:

Today is one of those rare times that I get to check off a life goal, like getting an illustration published in the New Yorker. I found the current Anniversary issue on the stands today and took a while before I found the spread of some of the Eustace Tilley contest winners' work. I was flattered by my illustration appearing first under the title. Wow. Thanks to the New Yorker and NewYorker.com for holding this contest. There are a ton of amazing artists posting work on Flickr, and it was a thrill to have the most prestigious, illustrator-friendly publication come to us right here, our electronic art studio complex.
The names of the artists are in small type, running vertically on the margin.
For anyone needing illustrations, I am available.
Cheers!
