ICON 6: News from LaLa Land

Long time, no blog. My apologies for the extended delay. I've been expanding my business in ways that have kept me struggling to maintain a regular posting schedule.

But, I'm here, today, to bring your attention to several things going on in the world of illustration that you should be aware of.

ICON 6, The Illustration Conference, will be held in Los Angeles, Wednesday, July 14, through Saturday, July 17. I will be attending.

Several events will be occurring during the conference. If you are in the Los Angeles area, be sure to check them out!

•THE ROADSHOW
What: a salon for illustrators and invited art buyers to meet, network, and maybe secure some projects
When: 4:30–7:00 pm
Where: the Viennese Ballroom at the Langham Hotel, 1401 South Knoll Avenue, Pasadena, CA
If you are an art director or art buyer in the L.A. area, and wish to attend, drop me a line and I'll get you on the guest list. If you're planning on attending, please look me up. I'd love to meet you!

•THE ILLUSTRATION WEST 48 ART EXHIBITION
What: a select exhibition of accepted work from the Illustration West 48 juried exhibition and annual, held by the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles
When: Tuesday, July 13–Sunday, July 18

Keep an eye out for Black Flowers (above), one of two pieces I was fortunate to have accepted to the annual. The other piece is Peak Oil, seen elsewhere on this blog. Black Flowers will be the only one exhibited.

•ICON6: A LABOR OF LINE

Thanks for the post... finally. Just kidding. Glad you are so busy. Enjoy the ICON this week! One of these years, I will find a way to attend. Let me know when you show in Springfield again. Maybe we'll meet up sometime.

Hi Mark. Thanks for following along, even through the non-postings! I really appreciate it. It looks like you had quite a cool project with your RFK signage. I'm sure it was a great talk, too.

Pasadena is beautiful, as is the host hotel! It should be a fun and informative conference.

I'll keep you posted on upcoming Springfield shows. Let me know when you're showing, too. I'd love to meet you.
