Don’t miss the Tim Burton exhibition at MOMA that opened yesterday Nov 22 thru April 26, 2010. Whitney Sherman’s History of Illustration class will be visiting the exhibition as well as getting a tour of the permanent collection at the Society of Illustrators NY on Dec 4th. We’ll be on the Bolt bus leaving from Penn Station at 8:15am if you want to tag along!
Julia recently interviewed for a position at the Columbia store to develop unique hand drawn signs for the store. She says she can’t wait to be using her skills and “earning double digits”! :-)
MICA Illustration and the Baltimore Office of Sustainability partnered on a terrific project through the Illustration Concepts I class this semester.
The theme “It’s All Connected” was given to students to address. The purpose of the posters is to demonstrate how every action we do affects ourselves, our community and our environment. A jury of Concepts faculty and the department Chair selected the following posters for publication by the Office of Sustainability. Congratulations to the Selected and to the Honorable Mentions. Photographs of the posters on site will be posted here after they are printed.
Thanks go out to Concepts faculty Jose Villarrubia, Alain Corbel, Allan Comport and Rebecca Bradley for their work with their students, to Ben Kutil for running InDesign Workshops in all the sections and to all the Concepts students who participated! The posters are on display in the Illustration Gallery.
