Illustrative 2009
I recently came across the Illustrative site which looks to be something very exciting indeed. It’s a festival running from 15th of October to the 1st of November, and it’s about most of the genres in graphic arts. This year it’s situated in Berlin, the European capital of awesome. If I can get the time I’ll definately be going.
Over 60 artists have been selected for the exhibition, so it’s sure to be one of the biggest events of the year regarding illustration.
Another thing that caught my attention, is the Swatch Young Illustrators Award, which is calling for 2009 submissions. The Illustrative press release says:
‘Awarding talent in three different categories, the Swatch Young Illustrators Award indi-
cates current trends in graphics and illustration. Illustrative art works, art projects with
graphic influences, animations and book art objects qualify for submission. Submissi-
ons can be handed in until the 30th of September 2009.’
‘The winners await prizes worth 6.000 Euros as well as publications and illustration agency contracts and will also be featured in future international shows. One winner will be invited to design a Swatch Watch.’
They’ll be sure to get my submission
