 Society

2010
Annual
Contest:
An illustrated calendar of mine has been selected by the Society of Illustration
to be included in the exhibition and book.

THE CONTEST
|
A |
|
calendar of mine has been selected to
appear in the Society of Illustrator's Illustrators 53 exhibit
(sequential series) and annual book.
The work was exhibited at the Museum
of American Illustration in New York from January 5 through January 22, 2011. |
|
The Sequential
category sonsists of multi-image projects for which a sequence of images is
necessary to fully convey and idea or story. This includes comic books, art
journalism, graphic novels, pre-production art and animation. This year, 35
images were selected from 251 submissions in this category.
My
calendar is labelled "The Well-Tempered Year" and contains 13 full-sized
whimsical illustrations with titles that are mocking famous novels ("The BOLD
MEN and the Sea", "Brave BLUE World", "Howard's FRIEND" etc.).

The premier showcase for illustrators and
animators, the Society of Illustrators Annual Exhibition features over
400 pieces of the most outstanding works created throughout each year.

illustrators, art directors and designers. |

The original works are exhibited at the
Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators in three separate
shows. The Sequential and Uncommissioned Exhibit features the year’s best
multi-image projects and self-generated images made for self-promotion. The Editorial and Book Exhibit

Illustrators’ mission is to promote the art of illustration, to appreciate its
history and evolving nature through exhibitions, lectures and education, and to
