A recap from Eurocature 2015, printed in [[EF Issue 2015.3]] on pages 8-9.

[[File:SummerEF2015FINALtablet_Page_09_Image_0004.jpg|266px|thumb|right|Gold Award LULU of South Korea receiving the Gold Award for Top I I met [[Eurocature]] President [[Bernd Ertl]] at last year’s ISCA convention in Reno, Nevada. We had a small chat about all of the great stuff that he was doing with his Eurocature event in Vienna, Austria. During this conversation, we both realized that even though Eurocature wasn’t an ISCA run event, there was a great amount of potential for us to help each other spread awareness of the artform to unprecedented levels. After we wrapped up our initial discussion, I never imagined that I would be contacted a few months later to be a special guest representing ISCA!
Eurocature was held this past June at the Wien Energy headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Bernd and his amazing team of Gerald Koller, Ralph Ricker and Silvia Müllegger managed to secure an amazing sponsorship from Wien Energy, which included the drawing/presentation room, a tour of their massive garbage incinerator AND an extremely well produced art show. These sponsorships and grants provided the Eurocature team with the tools to invite and accommodate a variety of illustrious guest speakers who included Anthony Geoffroy, Maria Picassó i Piquer, Xi Ding and Canadian editorial cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon.
Each day would kick off with two presentations,
which would last for roughly
four hours. Following the presentations,
the artists would proceed to whip out
their artistic tools of choice and start
working on their caricature illustrations.
The theme for this year’s Eurocature
was “Hot and Cold,” a theme that was
indicative of Wien Energy’s services to
the community. The volume of talent
at this event was insane! The Austrian
and European caricature community
is steeped in the world of illustration.
While there were a few “gig/retail
artists" in attendance, the primary focus
of this event was to create a strong illustration
that would grab the viewer.
By far the most memorable day of Eurocature
was the last day. We took a trip
to Krems, the home of the Karikature
Museum, featuring a Mordillo exhibit
and a variety of Austrian caricature and
editorial artists. After the museum tour,
it was time to hand out the awards for
the event. Xi Ding swept the event by
winning 1st Place in Best Studio Piece,
Best Exaggeration and Best Digital categories.
Christian Stellner took home
the 1st Place award for Best Traditional
Caricature. Once the awards were
distributed, we made our way back to
Vienna to attend one of the swankiest
art shows that I have ever been to. All of
our pieces were framed and displayed
in the Wien Energy building, where
more than 100 guests attended to a
great deal of fanfare. To see this event
in all of its glory, check out the video
links in this article.
Attending this event brought me a
great amount of joy. The European
community has always been aware
of ISCA, but once they saw a more
detailed presentation, which included
convention pics and artwork, their enthusiasm
for our organization increased
exponentially! I wouldn’t be surprised if
our 2016 convention included a massive
European invasion!
Once the week wrapped-up, all of the
artists went their separate ways with
a newfound enthusiasm that will drive
their work for another year. Bernd and
I both shared a beverage, smiled and
agreed that this was the beginning of a
wonderful partnership and that together
ISCA and Eurocature can enthusiastically
share the message of “A WORLD
DRAWN TOGETHER.” Thanks for
having me, Eurocature. Your event is truly special.
