ICON 5

I'm back from a great trip to New York, including four jam-packed days at the Illustration Conference. Some highlights for me included participating in the Road Show, getting a thoughtful guided tour of the New York Times magazine, and having an informative "topical lunch" with Edel Rodriguez. There were many great speakers -- highlights included Gary Panter, Mitch Nash, Ina Saltz, and Keri Smith. But the best part was being able to catch up with old friends, make new ones, reconnect with former teachers, and meet some of my illustration heroes.
