3. Oh man! I love finding people I didn’t know about who are...



Oh man! I love finding people I didn’t know about who are totally awesome! Sergio Membrillas is an illustrator in Valencia, Spain, and his work has a wonderful analog scratchiness softening its harder-edged digital marks. It’s tinged with flavors of some of my favorite contemporary illustrators like Chuck Groenink, Nate Williams, and Drawn’s own Matt Forsythe, but the mixture is all his own.

4. Society of Illustrator's Lecture tonight in NYC





Well, I'm looking forward to attending a  lecture at the Society of Illustrators in New York City tonight. 
Nate Williams will be the speaker and he will be signing his posters after the talk. I love his illustrations and is looking forward to seeing his work. Nate Williams is  the founder of the online illustration community site called  illustrationmundo.com. He will discuss the dynamic between illustrator and art director, how he develops his projects with clients in different markets, why he has 2 different names, how to be seen everywhere even all the way from Buenos Aires, and why it’s important to be part of the illustration community both off and online.
After the lecture, there will be  a wine and cheese networking reception. 


Below, Nate Williams Illustration on the bus:

See some of you there tonight!

5. Explorations of Style – 5 Illustration Voices Speak


5 Illustration Voices Examine the Concept of Style

In the short time that I’ve been involved with Escape From Illustration Island, I’ve noticed that certain topics seem to come and go in waves, at least in the online Illustration community.  For example, it seems that within a short span of time, different bloggers, podcasters, and other content creators will all be talking about similar subjects around the same time.  My favorite part about this is that each of us offers our own voice, our own angle, on a given topic.

Today I thought I’d highlight the latest subject that I’ve been noticing being discussed, which is STYLE.

Here’s a look at the ways that 5 different online content creators in the Illustration community have been exploring the concept of style in the recent past:

Nate Williams – In a recent blog post, Illustrator Nate Williams asked the question: Does a professional Illustrator need a style? Rather than stop there, he goes on to paint an incredibly thorough picture of what style is, how different illustrators approach it, and what it means for the working artist.  What makes Nate’s post so rewarding to read is how clearly he presents the concept of style with case studies, an outline of the basic creative process, and a look at some of the related opinion polls he has conducted at Illustration Mundo in the past.

Big Illustration Party Time - Friends of EFII and fellow Podcasters Kevin Cross and Joshua Kemble of the Big Illustration Party Time Podcast recently tackled the elusive topic of style on Episode 40 of their show, which focuses on freelance Illustration and cartooning.  Their discussion was in reaction to a listener question regarding the benefits and risks of working in a distinct style, as well as tips for Illustrators who wish to work in a variety of styles.

Jonathan Woodward – In another rich and rewarding exploration of style, Jonathan Woodward treated readers of his blog, Zero 2 Illo, with an investigation into the question, “Does an Illustrator Choose Their Style, or Does it Choose Them?” As proof of the fact that every artist has a unique perception

8. Nate Williams on generating ideas

final

In a recent blog post, illustrator Nate Williams shares his method for generating ideas for editorial illustrations.

The idea behind this methodology is similar to writing a song. There are only a few musical notes, but by rearranging their order, length and speed you can create an infinite amount of songs.

William Reardon, author of The Bedside Dysmorphologist: Classic Clinical Signs in Human Malformation Syndromes and their Diagnostic Significance, is Consultant Clinical Geneticist, at Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, Dublin, Ireland. Dysmorphology is the study of congenital malformations. Often a health professional will take note of low set ears or deep set eyes and wonder whether it indicates a more serious genetic disorder. In his book Reardon provides an effective guide to identifying malformations and determining their clinical significance. In the excerpt below Reardon looks at Deep-Set Eyes.
