Article Transcript
Welcome to the debut issue of the Interactive Exaggerated Features! It’s hard to believe that over the years this newsletter has evolved from an oversize black-and-white newsprint periodical, to a full-color glossy magazine that is now INTERACTIVE! It has been our goal to present our members with as much caricature content as possible. With that being said, I’m sure you will all agree that this edition of Exaggerated Features is the embodiment of our agenda! I would like to thank our editor, Debbie “Debbo” Burmeister, for making this revolutionary transition happen for us. Over the years, Debbie has dedicated so many hours of hard work to make this the best magazine it can be. She was instrumental in making this change happen and did not hesitate to dive in and embrace the new format. In addition, I want to thank Beau “B Huff” Hufford for updating the design of the EF and ISCA logo. Beau has put so much time and love into our new look and has asked for nothing in return. He genuinely wants our organization to look as good as possible. Check out his article in this issue and you’ll see that his process was fueled by his love for this organization. All right, enough bragging about the new EF! I have a few announcements! As you may or may not have heard on our recent editions of the ISCAST Podcast, ALL former Gold Nosey winners can compete in every category once again. That’s right. We are lifting the “one and done” policy and are opening the competition to every artist registered to compete, including the MASTERS. If the Pittsburgh Steelers can win multiple Super Bowls and Meryl Streep can win multiple Oscars, why can’t a caricature artist do the same? In addition, we have decided that the 1st Place winner of the “Best Portfolio” competition will also be awarded an EF COVER for the following year. The 2014 “Best Portfolio” winner, Rob Hren, displayed his skills by painting this issue’s beautiful cover, which is adorned with the not-so-beautiful faces of the current board. Speaking of the current board, I would like to thank Matt, Chris, Jon and our NEW MANAGER CeCe for all of their hard work! Chris Moore has been doing a bang-up job managing the Bi-Weekly Facebook Contest. The artwork displayed from week to week continues to inspire and motivate all of us to get better and better with our craft. Jon Casey has taken our ISCAST to the next level after stepping in as a fill-in host during my wedding/honeymoon, which is why he has graduated to a full-on co-host! Keep your ears peeled for more amazing podcasts from Jon. Matt Zitman has been plugging away at some behind-the-scenes tasks that will come to fruition in a few months. Trust me when I say, Matt is going to blow your minds with his TOP SECRET project! Last but not least, CeCe has jumped into the depths of our crazy caricature world and is absolutely killing it as a manager! Thanks for keeping our world spinning, CeCe. You rock! In closing, I just want to say that I am so incredibly stoked to attend this year’s convention in Sandusky, Ohio. With guest speakers Jason Seiler, C.F. Payne and Torren Thomas, this “illustration- centric” convention was designed to inspire and push all of our attending members to create the best artwork possible. Stay tuned, as we have more announcements lined up that will make this convention the “must see” event of the decade!
Cheers,
