Heads up: if you've left anything behind in DA3, clear it out immediately! The dumpster is coming.

Joy Ang's Process

Here's a great process-post from Joy Ang, using good ol' pencils and Photoshop, to create the cover for The Anthology Project.

Conference for Illustration Students!

Yes, Really! Cahrles Hively, publisher of 3x3 Magazine (who is sponsoring the conference), says:

One of the reasons I want to do this conference is that I don’t believe young illustrators get off on the right foot. No school has time to adequately prepare a student illustrator—or designer or fine artist for that matter—for the real world and as a result the illustration industry remains static. Fees haven’t changed in forty years. Illustration has lost much of the respect it once had among art directors, editors and advertisers. But I feel that can change if we provide young illustrators with a better set of tools and that’s why this conference is so important.

What I’ve discovered is that successful illustrators are all very astute business people as well as being talented illustrators. At our conference you’ll benefit from their trial and errors to help you avoid some of the pitfalls of starting your career as an illustrator. That’s good for your career. And ultimately that’s good for the industry.

So, register, already!
