Troy Doolittle (featured yesterday) is on the board of directors for ICON The Illustration Conference taking place in Los Angeles, California, July 14-17, 2010.
ICON6 delivers a compelling and provocative program with over 50 speakers who bring their unique take on the industry and professional practice. Representing the brightest minds from many creative fields including publishing, advertising, galleries, film, animation, fashion, design and retail, each guest speaker offers their experience, knowledge and insight through main stage speeches, roundtable discussions, hands-on workshops, exhibitions and networking events over a 4-day period in July 2010.
The conference schedule will be posted in the coming weeks, but from the list of speakers, there is sure to be no shortage of talent, experience and wisdom present.
James Jean is going to be there, I might just have to go.
Anyone else going?
Never heard of it but I looked at all the speakers and didn’t see anything that even came close to product illustration, realism or technical illustration. Did I miss something here?
Seems like none of the speakers are techies but there should be some general content on marketing, building a sustainable career, conducting business, etc. that would be useful.
Got it! Is like the work book come to life.
James hit the nail on the head… regardless of the type of work you do, the general message about how to keep our careers going relates to all of us. Plus, I’ve found it’s a great way to build community within our trade and pal around with some very talented artists. Where else do you get the opportunity to do that?
