Article Transcript

Greetings, ISCA, from the beautiful Town & Country Resort in San Diego, CA! CeCe and I met up with a few members while here in San Diego, checked out nearby Balboa Park (home of museums, street performers, gardens, and the world famous San Diego Zoo — only about a $5 Uber ride away — and had some amazing gelato up in La Jolla. Right across the street from the hotel is Fashion Valley Mall, putting a great variety of eateries just a short walk away.

CeCe and I have been meeting with the hotel staff the past couple days getting ready for this year’s #ISCACon27. We’re super excited for this year’s con, and the board has been busy working to bring some new things and fresh ideas to the convention experience! We’ve got a great lineup of speakers, including this year’s Guest of Honor, David Boudreau. David has been working as a professional animator, character designer and story artist for over 25 years at Warner Brothers Feature Animation, Dreamworks, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, and Fox Animation where he currently works. You don’t want to miss this convention!

The Exaggerated Features Podcast is back, and Vice President Cory Lally recently interviewed last year’s Golden Nosey winner, Manny Avetisyan. In the months to come, he’ll be interviewing our guest speakers as we lead up to San Diego, so be sure to check those out!

We have also started an Exaggerated Features video series on YouTube hosted by ISCA Secretary AJ Jensen. This web series will have interviews, how-to’s, tips and tricks, tutorials, and more. Make sure to subscribe to the Exaggerated Features Channel to keep up to date with the latest episodes.

We’ve also created a Facebook page for Exaggerated Features, which is a place you can go to to follow all the latest from the podcasts, YouTube channel, magazine, and website.

Speaking of the website, our Treasurer, Tom Faraci, recently went through and gave it a freshening up, making navigation easier and streamlining the look. We’ve also expanded the forums section and added new categories. Many of you have asked for the forums; They’re on the site; we just need you guys to post there! Habits are tough to get back into, but if we all work together, we can create a thriving forum on caricature.org.

One last thing: ISCA has a couple of new options when it comes to paying for your membership. You can now sign up directly on caricature.org to have your membership automatically renew (instead of doing it through a third party like PayPal) and we’ve added a monthly payment option! Head on over to caricature.org to check it out.

That’s all for now. I have to hop a plane and get to Omaha for a festival this weekend!
