Article Transcript
We are going green Welcome to the first interactive PDF edition of Exaggerated Features. Above is a photo (thanks David “Bippy” Boyer!)of one of the earlier iterations of our group’s newsletter. Things are a little different now. Though we are past photocopies, interactive PDFs are still a little restrictive. Email addresses and websites can be clicked on, but they will only work if you have access to the Internet. Some items, like rollover buttons and movies, will not work on all platforms. But in general, you will have the same info as the print version, with the convenience of clickable links and access to exclusive, members- only content. There are some really cool things coming down the pike, and hopefully we can roll those out in the next issue, but bear with us as we transition to this new format. In this issue Thanks to the multi-talented Beau Hufford for providing the new ISCA logo and new Exaggerated Features logo. His work has helped inspire me to do a little fine-tuning of this magazine in the near future. Beau explains the processes in creating the ISCA logo starting on page 9. I have had quite a few members ask how they can host a mini-con in their city. In order to do so, and have an ISCA sponsored mini-con, you first have to have an official local ISCA chapter. On page 20, we rehash all the requirements and benefits of starting a local chapter. Information on the upcoming mini-con in Singapore, as well as one in Europe, can also be found on pages 6-8. In addition, we also have another cartoon from Emily Anthony, chronicling the trials and tribulations of a carnival caricature artist. (And this one is more for the ladies!!) And a sneak preview of the new [[American Caricature]] documentary in the works by Tom Faraci. Starting on page 12 we have an in-depth interview with Thierry Coquelet. As we went to press on our last issue, our founder, Buddy Rose, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. A couple of our members who have known Buddy for a long time shared their thoughts and memories about the man. See the article starting on page 26. In the next issue Next month, we will introduce a couple of new segments. The first will be Ask an Agent. For more info, see our ad on page 25. Also, I would like to do a segment showing off studios. If you have a studio setup, we would love to see it. And if your studio isn’t at a point where you would like to share, then I would be happy to see your gig setup or gig bag. More info can be found on page 25, and our first entry for both of these will debut in the next issue. Send in your ideas, pictures and now video! Be sure to take the survey at the end of this PDF so we can see how we are doing. The Pre- and Post-con issues will still be printed, but for the foreseeable future, the two issues in between will be interactive PDFs only. This newsletter will continue to evolve. Who knows what the format will be in another 20 years?
