3x3 Illustration Annual No. 15 - Pre-Order

We’re beginning the design process which always starts with the cover. This year we had quite a number of potential cover images which we narrowed down to a select few before selecting Brian Stauffer's winning image from our show. This is a bit of a departure for us as we always look at each new cover in context with previous years—this image doesn’t fit our mold which we’re rather excited about.

As our founder Charles Hively said, “I feel at 3x3 we always look for new trends in illustration, unfortunately the recession slowed down that progress. Art directors were avoiding taking chances so while the work was strong there wasn’t much movement toward new work. That’s changed over the past couple of years and we’re pleased to see a number of really wonderful examples in this year’s show that push illustration forward. Brian’s work exemplifies that direction.”

Our annual is slatted for delivery in early December but we’re taking orders now for both the printed Annual and the digital edition. Winners and art directors will receive a complimentary eBook of the Annual once it’s released. Winners receive a discount on the print edition, our Best of Show winners receive a free copy.

The 3x3 Illustration Annual No.15 will be available on select newsstands and bookstores worldwide. Order your copy today.
