And, the first and second Sandman covers (top row in the above photo) got accepted into the book category of the Society of Illustrators 51st annual competition show, which has just opened. I also have two illustrations in the editorial category of the same show.
This is a great show to see original artworks by different illustrators in a single space. Please go visit if you are in New York City.
Museum of Illustration at The Society of Illustrators 128 East 63rd St., New York City. Show runs through February 28th. <hours: Tues: 10-8 Wed-Fri: 10-5 Sat: 12-4 closed Sun>
I took some photos of the posters during my stay. Please check them out.
I will keep squeezing in travels in my schedule to come meet you! So join me when I am there.
In January 23, I will be in Germany for Embedded Art exhibit opening at Akademie der Künste in Berlin. (Hope it is won’t be as cold as it is now!)
In February, I will be coming to Washington University in St. Louis, thanks to the invite of my former studio-mate and super talented John Hendrix.
In March, I am scheduled to be in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico thanks to the kind invitation from Amarillo Centro de Diseno. A show and lecture are scheduled. aspiring illustrators and students in Mexico, come come! Looking forward to meeting you there.
Also in March, I will be judging a children’s book illustration competition organized by Teatrio in Chioggia, Italy. They are still accepting applications. So, please apply your awesome works!
Unfortunately, this show is in Ogilvy office space and not open to general public. If you happened to work with/for Ogilvy, please visit their 8th floor show space.
Thank you Mick Ebeling for inviting me to the show and Blair Milbourne for getting all the digital prints done.
I had so much fun spending time with faculty and students from Virginia Commonwealth University. Big thank you to everyone, especially to: a senior Raven Herrera for arranging everything, faculty Sterling Hundley and Tin Salamunic for taking me around and help me arranging my disastrous trip back to New York. (La Guardia got shut down for a day, and I had to take a long Amtrak ride back to Penn Station. Yikes!)
And, yes, Yuko will be in her studio for a while. …….OK, it may be a lie. I may have a possible London business trip this month, but I will definitely post the details if it happens. Anyway, happy weekend everyone.
Two group shows I am in will be traveling to Melbourne, Australia and Barcelona, Spain in September. Unfortunately I don’t think I can come to the receptions this time, but if you happened to be in either one of the cities, I hope you come stop by.
