SooJin & Chris Buzelli Lecture at the Society of Illustrators

Posted By Fernanda Cohen | 0 Comments

I’m producing a lecture I’ve been wanting to have at the Society since they- the Buzellis that is- did it in San Francisco a while back. I’ve been told the Society will experience a 2.0 version of it so, even if you saw it out there, stop by if you’re in New York on March 16th, 2010.

Chris and SooJin are some of my fave peeps in this field, both work wise and as friends. I’m honored and thrilled to have them participate in my lecture series. Finally!

“SooJin Buzelli is the creative director of PLANSPONSOR, PLANADVISER and ai5000 magazines; Tim O’Brien once said SooJin’s magazines were like “fantasy island for illustrators.” Chris Buzelli is a multiple award-winning illustrator who works in advertising, publishing and editorial for clients pretty much everywhere. Together they make a powerful and creative team whose love and support for illustration is hard to match.”

Interview with Ben Newman about his new comic book Ouroboros

I’ve been a huge comic fan since before I can remember but I’d given up on the idea of illustrating comics because I’d been concentrating on exhibitions and freelance work for the past six years. The opportunity was too good to turn down so I said yes, put my nose to the grindstone and got to work trying to figure out what story I wanted to tell.
