Renowned artist/illustrator Marcos Chin, best known for his Lavalife campaigns on NY subways, will demonstrate digital coloring techniques incorporating traditional media. A line drawing will be taken, step by step, to a fully rendered final - including shading, layering, patterns, shadows and texture - using  Illustrator. He will also discuss how to build a consistent aesthetic for advertising campaigns and how to balance commercial and personal work. The workshop will be followed by a print signing.

Colin Johnson has been up to some very cool work .. check out more here.

Remed and 3TTMAN are some of my favorite artists .. they always have something delicious to check out.

I contributed an illustration to Craig Yoe’s arf and I just received it in the mail .. which is a feat in itself considering only about 50% of my mail actually makes it to me in Buenos Aires.

I have to say this book/magazine or whatever you call it is amazing … I spent minutes on every page and the printing quality is superb.  Definitely try to get your hands on it.
