Hey everybody! I hope all of
you are happily recovering
from a fruitful holiday gig/
retail season. I just managed
to have an entire night of sleep
without subconsciously hearing
holiday music, so that’s a step in the
right direction! As this is my first
installment of Letter from the Prez,
it brings me great pleasure to share
all of the new and exciting changes
our new board have been working
on over the past 2 months.
Our goal has always been to increase
the overall value of our brand and
I think we are headed in the right
direction with the addition of our new
YouTube channel, which features
convention footage, tutorials and exclusive
videos that can only be found
on the channel! We have also created a
brand spankin’ new Facebook Contest
Group, which is now taking place
bi-weekly! Big thanks go out to our
Secretary Chris Moore for managing
the FB contest. So far it is off to a great
start! We have also added a Monthly
Facebook Workshop Group with Euan
Mactavish. This workshop is a great
way to hone your caricature craft
through critique and focused observation.
Thanks for making this happen,
Euan! On the same note, if you are
NOT able to access these groups,
please email me at iscaprez@gmail.
com and I will get you set up.
I have also been working on a
bi-monthly caricature podcast called
the Iscast. Every two weeks I will be
posting interviews with our fellow
caricature artists, which can be
accessed every other Tuesday on the
music-streaming website Sound-
Cloud. In addition, I will be posting
announcements and answering
member questions regularly during
the Iscast. Since we are only able to
post new episodes every other week,
our talented friend Ali Thome will fill
in the gaps by releasing her amazing
podcast called “It’s Supposed to be
Funny” every other Tuesday . You can
check out her podcast on iTunes or at
www.itssupposedtobefunny.com.
Ever since I joined the board in 2013,
my goal was to help transform and
evolve ISCA for the 21st century
and beyond. With the help of our
friend, Beau Hufford, we are one step
closer with our NEW LOGO! Beau has
designed a beautiful logo that can
be modified to represent countries
all over the globe. Not only do we
have a new look, but we also have
a new message, “A World Drawn
Together.” All of our promotional and
marketing material will feature this
new tag-line in hopes of reaching a
broader, world-wide audience. The
changes don’t end with a new logo
and message. We are also giving
our quarterly newsletter a digital
face lift! Starting next issue, the EF
will be presented four times a year
as an Interactive Digital Magazine!
The Spring Issue and the Fall Issue
will each be DIGITAL ONLY and will
feature interactive content (videos
and tutorials) in beautiful and crisp
high-resolution. You’ll never misplace
or lose an issue ever again! The Pre
and Post Convention issues will STILL
be printed but will now include more
pages and will also be available in the
interactive digital format. Between
the magazine, the Facebook Groups,
the podcast and ALL of the social
media sites, ISCA members now
have enough content to keep them
busy for weeks!
Before I wrap things up, I would like to
let all of you know that our amazing
manager Tracey Iverson will be passing
the torch to someone new this year.
Tracey has been such an amazing
member of our crazy family. She has
been an incredible asset to our organization
by managing our finances,
taxes, memberships, and of course
the convention. Let’s all raise a glass
to Tracey and wish her the best of luck
with her future endeavors. THANK
YOU, TRACEY!!!
With that being said, we need a new
manager! This is a part-time paid
position that requires administrative
experience. If any of you know someone
who could potentially fill the void,
please email Tracey at
iscamanager@gmail.com and she will
send you a detailed job description.
Well, that’s all I’ve got for now. Thanks
to all of you for being a part of this
amazing organization. We could not
do any of this without you!
Cheers,
Nolan Harris<br/>
President of the International<br/>
Society of Caricature Artists<br/>
