Article Transcript
Hello, fellow ISCA members!
Here is the issue that everyone has been waiting for, the 2018 Pre-convention issue. This year marks a return to California after 18 years. In 2000, I attended my very first convention in San Diego at the Handlery hotel. That hotel is just steps away from our location this year at the Town & Country. The Handlery hotel is no longer equipped to handle the number of people that our organization has grown to, unfortunately. If you had a chance to view my sneak peek of this year’s convention location in my video in the last issue, you know this year’s hotel does not disappoint. If you didn’t view my video, you should. If you haven’t registered yet, just a glimpse of the sun and palm trees should be enough to compel you to. And did you see the size of that jacuzzi??? And if you need another reason: tacos.
As usual, we have lots of information to plan your stay. Time is running out to book your room with the discount, and may have already passed by the time you read this. Let’s hope it hasn’t! San Diegan Court Jones has stepped in to give his take on what to see and do while you are in town.
This time we have two interviews from upcoming seminar presenters, who just both happen to work for Fox Animation. Dom Bianchi currently works on Family Guy and will be talking about his job. David Boudreau currently works on American Dad and is our guest of honor this year. Both these artists come from a strong animation background. And for both artists, this will be their first convention. I wonder, do they have to attend Convention Boot Camp?
On page 23, I revived an article that ran 16 years ago, but it is also advice that holds true today. Ted Tucker’s shares how to draw caricatures faster and efficiently. It might be just what you are looking for to up your game. We also have a review of the Tom Richmond workshop by Steve Silvestre. If you have been thinking about taking this workshop, be sure to read.
Also in this issue we introduce the members running the board of directors this year. All four of our current board members are in the running as well as five new candidates. I believe that is a record, at least since I have been a member. So make your vote count. Be sure to review all of the nominee speeches and put your ballot in the mail as soon as possible. If you are coming to the convention, you can bring your ballot with you.
