Tom Richmond announces details (including guest speaker line-up) about this year’s The International Society of Caricature Artists (formerly called National Caricature Network) 2009 Annual Caricature Convention and Competition that will be held November 2-7 in Sandusky, Ohio.
First off, there is not one, not two, not three but FOUR guest speakers, all from MAD Magazine:
Sam Viviano- Longtime MAD artist and current art director
Mark Fredrickson- Frequent MAD cover artist, former airbrush demigod and current digital painting master
Hermann Mejia- The brilliant “artist’s artist” for MAD, caricaturist, painter, sculptor, genius
Tom Richmond- My humble self
See his blog for further details – especially about the part that allows non-members to attend the presentations.
This gathering sounds like a ripe pick for some sort of uber-dramatic nefarious villain scheme!
