Just a little heads up for all the illustrators between 20 and 40 out there, I just got an e-mail about the Young Illustrators Award 2008. It’s a competition for young illustrators, and might be a nice opportunity for an illustrator looking for a nice break and/or the proper exposure. It’s organized by the people from the Illustrative exhibitions and perhaps it’s something to check out…

Hi from London, I was recently invited to exhibit on the London Underground. I figured it’s a perfect showcase for illustration, particularly the cutting edge and the subversive variety to which I aspire. I’m holding out until the summer before I go ahead with this… Just my idea that that’s the time of maximum impact. The rates range from reasonable to a bit of a squeeze but at least there’s options. Just thought this might be useful info, especially to those in the US who are thinking of making a splash in the UK. GO to artbelow.com My own work is up at www.web.mac.com/editobject
