Announcing the Nuts & Bolts Conference 2014

We’re preparing for our next 3x3 Nuts & Bolts Conference in October. While we usually hold the event in July this year we’ve opted for a much cooler month. And this year it’s a two-day event with the first day open to all illustrators at all levels while the second day is more apropos for those just getting out of school or those who have been out just a few years.

Day One is all about self-promotion from the point of view of an art director. The interactive workshop will help illustrators at all levels develop more effective promotions aimed at art directors.

This full-day workshop is a continuation of workshops we’ve held over the past several years and for the first time the workshop will also be available as a live, real-time webcast. So whether you can attend in person or online we’re offering you an affordable way to participate. We always receive excellent reviews on this workshop. Seating is limited so be sure to sign-up early for this.

Day Two brings back a number of our most well-received speakers including illustrators Paul Hoppe, Aaron Meshon, Laura Tallardy, Martin Wittfooth and Marcos Chin, in addition we have legal advice from Sheheryar Sadar and hear from our newest speakers, New York Times art director Alexandra Zsigmond and artist representative Louisa St Pierre, Bernstien & Andruilli. 

We’ll cover the areas of self-publishing, children’s books, licensing, galleries, artist reps, developing apps all from the perspective of working illustrators. And you’ll be able to ask questions of all our speakers before, during and after the event at our cocktail reception. See what past attendees have said about this intensive full-day lecture series.
