Happy to announce that <b><a href="http://books.disney.com/book/rutherford-b-who-was-he/" target="_blank">"Rutherford B., Who Was He?"</a></b>- written by <b>Marilyn Singer</b>, is in stores today! I've posted some images from the process and the final art from the book. Such a challenge to depict all the U.S. Presidents, who had really different legacies, with a similar visual tone. It is a great book to give kids a literary and visual hook to remember something from each of the presidents. The images create metaphors and environments that help illuminate their contributions to our history.</div>

<br />
I've had a lot of response about how helpful this idea has been, so I introduced the exercise to my seniors. With their permission I'm posting some their lists, they are both hysterical and prophetic. It is easy to see how a person's visual interests line up with what kinds of ideas they are drawn to, literally, in their work. Having this list in your studio is a way to remind you to connect your point of view conceptually to an object you enjoy creating.<br />
<br />
Take a look and enjoy these lists from Maya Tatsukawa, Cord Luhrman, Ariella Elovic, Gretchen Oldelm, Chris Hohl, Miki Bird and Susie Kim.<br />

An image for <b>Entertainment Weekly</b> on new Bible epics being filmed currently, Steven Spielberg is doing a Moses film, Will Smith is directing a movie about Cain and Able, Brad Pitt is portraying Pontius Pilate and Russel Crowe is filming a version of Noah's Ark. Did I get the call for this because I read the Bible? You decide.<br />

Tonight I'll be speaking at <a href="http://societyillustrators.org/" target="_blank">Society of Illustrators</a> with
Aaron Duffy, a former student I had the pleasure to teach during my first year
at Washington University. <a href="http://1stavemachine.com/directors/" target="_blank">You can see much of his touching and moving work here.</a> When I met him, he was a very stubborn and driven student, with distinct
(if not totally clear) stories that he wanted, or indeed, <i>had</i> to tell. Today, Aaron's work shines for its
singularity and heart, in a field where clear voices are often diluted in risk-adverse corporate advertising. He is an example of the kind of student that I love to teach.
He was never afraid to take the risk of solving a problem in his own language.
Ultimately, even when given limitations, Aaron created the problems <i>he</i> wanted
to solve. Tonight, through our recent work, Aaron and I will be talking about
these two questions.</div>

Illustrators and commercial artists often make the mistake
of being too good at solving the problem. Meaning they let the limitations of
the project overly influence how they solve the problem. When I give my
student's an assignment I always tell them the same thing. <i>"At any point
in this assignment, if you are unhappy with what you are drawing, it is your
fault. Not mine." </i>Illustrators, not art directors, are in charge of
designing content that they will love to create. You can start simply: make a
list of things you like drawing. My list looks something like this... <o:p></o:p></div>

Make a list that has 100 things on it- and pin it up in your
studio. Make a habit of inserting these subjects into your drawings and, even
better, into your illustration solutions. Learning to solve a project in a world that you enjoy is a
<i>huge</i> part of finding your voice. The reason why is so simple it almost escapes
notice: When we make things we enjoy,
our work gets better.</div>

Marshall Arisman has spoke about this at length for years,
including at ICON7 last June, and I will echo his wisdom. His MFA program at
The School of Visual Arts was founded on teaching illustrators to no longer
define themselves by their assignments. Illustrators from the 60's and 70's (the
golden age of agency illustration) languished in the late 80's and 90's because
they were not trained to be authors of their own material. These illustrators had
become great craftsmen and great thinkers as well, but when there were no
assignments given anymore, they grew bitter and unable to generate work without
a client's prompting. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I teach my students to be, ultimately, what I call
<i>First-Order-Creatives</i>. Now, before I clarify this statement, let me say that
this structure has nothing to do with inherent value
or skill sets required for each. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Third Order Creatives:</b> <i>Manifesting Content</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A visual creation that is only concerned with forms.
The artist is hired to deliver art and nothing beyond the created objects. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Some examples:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Rendering fur/textures on an animated film <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Drawing a castle for an advertisement<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Illustrating a picture book in the style of another
artist/ character set </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Second Order Creatives:</b> <i>
Framing Content</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The artist is both visual creator and conceptual developer.
Though they don't define the problem, the artist brings both form and content
to the solution. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Some examples: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Concept artist for video game or feature film<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Illustrating an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Illustrating a children's book written by another
author<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>First Order Creatives:</b> <i>Authoring Content </i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The artist is not only drawing the forms, and delivering the
concept, but authoring the problem they eventually solve. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Some examples:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Artist created comics/ Graphic Novels<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Visual Reportage<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Writing and illustrating books for children<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">• Auteur short films/animations </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me say again, every artist who wakes in the morning with
the privilege of drawing for a living should be grateful. This structure isn't
about who is better or higher paid, it is to clarify thinking about how a
career in the commercial arts can be <i>lasting and adaptable</i>. The higher you
reside, IMHO, the better chance you have of creating a flexible and rewarding career
in the commercial arts (that doesn't end in bitterness). Teaching students to
author their own content is tricky, as you need the skills of the order below
to be the best at the one above.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Simply put, don't wait for people to call you. Make drawings
and make stories and make ideas that are yours alone.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As mentioned above, it is so easy during art school and
professional training to forget that you started drawing because you enjoyed
it. No matter what age that was, I guarantee that you weren't forced into
drawing. In fact, you probably stopped merely enjoying it and began to love it.
But, at some point, it is easy to assume "becoming a professional
artist" is a very different goal than "enjoying oneself." Finding your visual voice has so much to do
with finding joy in your work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hate when students talk about "style" - even
though I fully empathize with the crisis. <i>"What is my style? What is the
best style? Do I just have to pick a style? Can I have more than one?"</i>
These questions are sincere and of course VERY critical to each and every
artist who has ever thought it. But, in my experience, so very rarely are these
questions linked to enjoyment. Usually what someone wants to be told is what he
or she is "best at." Meaning that what they want or are passionate
about doing has very little to do with finding what will give them professional
success. Your voice is yours alone. Finding it can only come by following your
own interests, influences, passions and personal longings. This is very
different than finding something that is 'marketable.' <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I spent 7 years in art school education, trying to
make myself as marketable as I possibly could, and I've spent the last 10 years as a professional trying to undo the process and get back to the
core of where I started. Joy in making.</div>

Just because I love to keep a sketchbook doesn't mean that
you will. In fact, I can think of many amazing and successful artists that
don't keep sketchbooks. But here is what I will say about a sketchbook, whether it
is a passion or a discipline, it will teach you things you can find nowhere
else.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A sketchbook can teach you to <i>connect the habits of making
to the creation of ideas</i>. The discipline of daily drawing is vital to this
connection. It is important to leave the screen and enter the pages of
sketchbook for the very realization that drawing is hard. The “Command-Z”
culture of screen-based design can turn lifelong drawers into tentative image-makers
- weary of putting down a line that isn't perfect (and in PEN!?).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Start drawing every day what emerges three months later is
an invaluable logbook of ideas, ruminations and explorations. This collection
of drawings often presents a much more integrated picture of a student’s visual
interests and ideas than they had realized. A sketchbook isn’t just “drawing
homework,” but an opportunity to discover the core of what makes you an artist.
What is a sketchbook, really? Is it just a portable drawing surface, or a less
polished version of an artist’s vision? Or is it something completely
different? Stop seeing your sketchbook as shorthand- and see it as a
playground. The privilege of making pictures for a living carries with it the
risk of turning your drawings into mercenaries. We must remember to play.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i>“Our best successes come from projects that teeter on the
edge of failure”</i> -Aaron Duffy <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My students struggle with failure, mostly because many of
them have never seen it as <i>valuable data.</i> But, lets be honest, we all hate
failing. We all hate when a risk we took doesn't work out. But, if you are
looking for your visual voice, then you can't be cautious. You have to make
stuff all the time, and be unafraid of when it goes bad. In fact, getting it
right the first time is not normal.
Early, fast success that isn't tied to an iterative process can actually
hinder growth later in your career. Good work will seem like it came from magic/luck, not from hard work/process driven thinking and refinement. Seeing failure as merely the remnants of a
bad choice is undermining the value of iteration. Process depends on iteration,
and iteration must have failure for us to find the best solutions.</div>

This stuff is not new. But it helped my students, so I hope it can be encouraging to you.<br />

I was looking through some of my older tear sheets last
week, and was overcome with a sense of gratitude for my career. Flipping through published failure after published failure, it felt as
though I've made a career out of smoke and mirrors. So much of that work was amateurish and blind to it's own limitations! But the moral of the
story is that I just kept making, I just kept drawing and ultimately my ability
caught up with my desire. Truly, I'm living proof that talent is over-rated... hard work and desire trump all.<o:p></o:p></div>

I found this great War deck in some things I had collected from my grandmother's farm house, and played a game with my son the other day. This is the very deck I spent hours playing with as a child, and really was struck by how great the illustrations are. Great colors and weird choices made all around. They are of a certain era to be sure, but I think they are really great.<br />
<br />
Anyone recognize the illustrator?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The very first time I learned of the world of Professional Illustration, (outside of a Norman Rockwell calendar in my 5th grade classroom), it was in the form of the <b>Society of Illustrators</b> annual, specifically <i>Illustrators 38</i>. I was a sophomore in college and I still remember it had this amazing <a href="http://www.bradholland.net/" target="_blank">Brad Holland</a> on the cover.<br />
<br />
Other than wanting to make drawings every single day, I had no <i>exact</i> idea of what I wanted to do with my life as an artist. Comics seemed plausible, but then... there was this book. Given to me by my professor at the University of Kansas, Barry Fitzgerald, this volume changed the course my life.<br />
<br />
Holding it in my hand, it was like the Rosetta Stone. Immediately it began to translate all of my interests and passions into a clear language. I poured over each page and wrote down names - a few weeks later I gave up my uni-ball micro pens and started dry-brush painting, just like Brad.<br />
<br />
That annual, and the ones that followed it year after year, opened endless visual doors to new work, new artists and, more importantly, new kinds of ideas.<br />
<br />
I spent several years admiring illustration from the distant golden shores of the midwestern wheat fields before I moved to New York for graduate school in 2001. The very first time I went to the Society of Illustrators building, was for my inaugural class with <a href="http://www.marshallarisman.com/" target="_blank">Marshall Arisman</a> in the MFA Illustration program at School of Visual Arts in New York. As you can imagine, this experience, to me, felt like being give a tour of St. Peters by the Pope himself.<br />
<br />
As I left that building that night, totally amazed by the images just casually hanging on the walls in every nook of the place (is that a Cornwell in the corner over there!?), I remember thinking to myself, "If I can hang an image in this place <i>just once</i>, I'll be proud of my career." Based on everything on those walls, and in those annuals, it seemed a remote and distant notion at best. But, on the way home, I walked down 5th avenue and I wasn't discouraged, my passion for illustration felt so alive.<br />
<br />
I entered the show for years, seven years in fact, including the student competition, before I got into Annual 46. I won my first medal in Annual 48. Now, Annual 55 represents my 10th straight year I've had work in the Society of Illustrator's Annual Show. I'm so grateful for that place and that I've been able to be a part of it in some small way over the years. If possible, I feel more humbled by the work on the walls than on my first visit. The magical experience of becoming a successful working illustrator has given me such admiration for the greats both past, present and future (in the case of some young illo-stars out there). There is much to look forward to in the next ten SI Annuals.<br />
<br />

<br />
This year, I'm thrilled to have eight drawings in the show, posted below. (If you're wondering, the chair does NOT get to vote on what gets into the show, all selections are made by the jury. If I had any sway, I'd have 25 pieces in the show.)<br />
<br />
The first show is opening January 4th, 2013 at The Society of Illustrators. Hope to see you then.<br />

Thanks to SooJin Buzelli for calling me for this project, which will run in <b>Plan Sponsor</b> magazine. I finished this project back in August, but it is just hitting the newsstands now. This article is about the benefits of mutual funds paying out in a steady stream of income, rather than in a single lump sum.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I'll set arbitrary limitations on my ideas, just for fun and variety, so for my sketches this time I constrained the variables by only sending ideas that had animals in them. SooJin picked my favorite!<br />

I had the great chance to do the cover of <b>Fortune Magazine </b>this week.- with a small exception. They killed it for a different version of the art. But, <a href="http://fortunemagazine.tumblr.com/">Fortune keeps a blog full of their rejected art</a>. Great stuff that never made the final print.<br />
<br />
They hire three illustrators to do final covers and then the editor picks the one that fits the news and attitudes of the piece. This may seem draconian, but there are several high-profile timely newsweeklies that use a similar process.<br />

Beyond the concept, it was an enjoyable formal challenge to draw jeweled and diamond studded clothing and accessories. I'm going to send this to the Romney campaign and see if they are interested.<br />

After watching the movie again, I took some shots of the fight, which moves from one-on-one, to five-on-one, to two-on-twelve! One great tongue-in-cheek moment is the directors have a kid watching the fight, casually eating a candy cane. Just before the decisive blow, the action cuts away to the kid biting his candy cane, mirroring the crunch of the bad guy's cheek bone being pulverized. Amazing. </div>

I have the great job of drawing for NPR's <i>Peter Sagal</i> when he writes his Road Scholar column for <b>Runner's World</b>. This month's column is about a Beer Race, which is exactly like it sounds. You drink beer, then run a lot, and drink more beer. It didn't end so well for Peter (not to mention you're disqualified if you yak up the booze.) </div>

Inside baseball: For the drawing above, I wanted to see what would happen when I drew final art with a bic pen instead of my normal inking tools. Always trying to get closer to the energy found in my sketchbook. I missed the dark black I get out of india and microns... but still fun. </div>

My friend and fellow board member,<a href="http://www.kyletwebster.com/"> Kyle T. Webster </a>and I had the fun job of coming up with some short interstitial videos for <a href="http://theillustrationconference.org/">ICON7</a>. Kyle came up with the simple concept of seeing an interaction through an email window between art directors and illustrators. Based on his first test (which made me laugh out loud), I wrote some scripts. We had such a blast putting the final versions together a few days before the conference. In the board room, WE thought they were hilarious. Jaime Zollars thought they we're "ok." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are embedded below, but run a bit small, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheIconConference?feature=watch">you can see them full size at the ICON YouTube home page. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first six ran at the conference (and we have two director's cut bonus episodes that we made but didn't use). Thanks to Kyle for this collaboration. Couldn't have done this alone. </div>

Finally back from the incredible experience of planning, running and <i>sort-of </i>attending, <b>The Illustration Conference</b> in Providence, Rhode Island... June 13-16th. As the President of the conference, I had the great honor to start the entire conference with an address. I've heard so many wonderful comments from folks who wanted to share it with others who weren't there. Anytime you have a chance to start a conversation with your entire industry, it is exciting, but I had not anticipated the overwhelming response to my thoughts on the nature of illustration and the future of our fate as image-makers. So, below is a transcript of my opening address, with some of the visuals I used as well. But first, a thanks to all who came to ICON7 and those who were so encouraging about the work the entire board put into it to make it an amazing experience.<br />

Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Norman Rockwell, or painting while smoking a pipe. But, illustration is more than that today. So, sometimes our culture seems to misunderstand our job, and we, the illustrators, can’t seem to find a way to accurately summarize its importance, and the only word we really have for it conjures cliched images from the good ol’ days.<br />
<br />
<b>So, what is illustration?</b><br />

<b><br /></b></div>
<br />
Let me come back to that.<br />
<br />
I teach illustration at <i>Washington University in St. Louis</i>, and in recent years, we’ve seen a growing number of students in art school choose to study illustration and design over the studio arts. I’ve talk to other educators and this is happening in art schools all across the country. Why is that?<br />
<br />
Clearly it isn’t because the studio arts have no value, because they do. But, I believe students are drawn to our field because illustrators and designers are <b>tangible contributors</b>. The vast visual tapestry of our culture is being defined by graphic image makers, and incoming students encounter those things in their actual lives, and they really want to participate. <br />
<br />
My colleague D.B. Dowd, who spoke at ICON6, said it this way:<br />
<b>“Visuality is the currency of the 21st Century.” </b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIFlvgaPIrb9linY2_yb7Jvllb5DQ58skBPv3akt9UIp6vWbSzwj5l25VV0DKw5I9oQwSXEsN5hbpFYnfC6RC6r3NcqRGG22QMen1XAA6oSmYKbZ7-k_acHT33MN-W9HlrBrw/s1600/pres_slide11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIFlvgaPIrb9linY2_yb7Jvllb5DQ58skBPv3akt9UIp6vWbSzwj5l25VV0DKw5I9oQwSXEsN5hbpFYnfC6RC6r3NcqRGG22QMen1XAA6oSmYKbZ7-k_acHT33MN-W9HlrBrw/s320/pres_slide11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Said another way, with the number of screens and surfaces in our lives multiplying by the day, the need for images is growing exponentially.<br />
<br />
In fact, despite our occasional queasiness with the word illustration, it doesn’t take much work to find examples of image makers shaping our cultural experience... from magazine covers, to comics, to storybooks and movies.<br />
<br />

Do NOT let people tell you that this stuff is pop-culture, <b>this IS our culture.</b><br />

<br />
We shouldn’t define ourselves by our method of payment and where our work is seen anymore... but by what it is doing. The old distinctions of the discipline don’t describe us anymore. What I’m saying is that the <b>category</b> isn’t as important is it’s <b>role</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>So, what is illustration?</b><br />
Illustration is NOT just images... Illustration is storytelling.<br />
Illustration is NOT a media or a style, Illustration is communication.<br />
We are saying something to our world.<br />

The theme for this weekend, is <i>Drawn Together</i>. Over the next three days, you’re going hear from some people you know, and many you don’t - and much of our conversation will be about <b>what</b> we are saying and <b>who</b> we are together.<br />

It is time for illustrators to stop thinking of themselves as Han Solo, <span style="background-color: white;">bragging about how fast their ship did the <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kessel_Run">Kessel Run</a>, </span><span style="background-color: white;">but embrace being a contributor to the Rebel Alliance. (He was much happier after he let go of the idol of his solitude, by the way.) </span><br />

I want to challenge us to stop seeing every other person in this room and in our field, as competition- and to embrace the collaborative nature of illustration.<br />
<br />
Even when drawn by a single artist, Illustration is <b>inherently collaborative</b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
It takes disparate elements, text and image and does not make a jumbled frankenstein, but a new thing- a whole that is greater than the sum of it’s parts. What I love about illustration is this stark humility- it is willing to subvert itself to deliver it’s content.<br />

Look at these images: Do you see merely media or technique? No. You see a beloved character, a rich story, a concept, an idea.<br />

<br />
Illustrators should <b>define themselves</b> by their communication and collaboration with their culture.<br />
Be proud of that. You are a contributor.<br />
<br />
Jillian Tamaki, who you will hear from later in this conference, put it this way on her blog:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>The payoff is so exciting, you’re not just a consumer of culture anymore, you’re a contributor. Illustration at its best, injects a bit of beauty and insight into a visual landscape that is so often vapid, crass, and garish. </i><i style="background-color: white;">Illustration is powerful precisely because it is commercial. ...Most people could probably describe to you their favorite comic or cartoon or album cover or picture book from childhood, regardless of whether or not they are creative. </i></span><br />
<br />
Let’s abandon seeing illustration as an artistic discipline- and see if for what it is: <b>A powerful, profound, and unpretentious shaper of our visual lives. </b><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Personally, I don’t just work as an illustrator because I believe in it as an industry with a viable and vibrant business model (which it is by the way), I believe in illustration because I believe in the power of images.</span><br />
