I'm challenging myself to draw at least one portfolio worthy piece a week until I graduate!

Howdy Folks,
Well, I seem to be quite the media kitten these days. Here is a link to a story about me regarding a t-shirt and a postcard I did for a friend - the Grumpy Gourmet in Columbus. If the link doesn’t work – go to www.columbuschefs.com
http://www.columbuschefs.com and click on the brown menu bar that says ‘Cow Town, Live With It’ and then scroll down.

KENWOOD THEATRE PRINTED ART EXHIBITION
It has come my attention that an old friend of mine wants to display art in the Kenwood Theatre. It would make the theatre looks nice, yes, and it could afford the illustrators that participate a means to sell their art in a print form.
BY NO MEANS SHOULD ONE LOOK AT THIS LIKE A BIG MONEY MAKER
It will put your art on display for those who attend the theatre to see.
I have also checked with a giclee printing company to see about making affordable prints for this effort. Giclee printing does have its initial costs. The initial scan for print production is a cost as the color correction for the first print, making the first print the most costly. But once the first print is created of an image, the following costs are much less. Depending on the size of the art. A first print would range in cost from $60.00 - $70.00 and more. Later prints are significantly less, like $25.00 - $35.00.
FrameUSA on Northland Boulevard would offer one the best price for framing, especially if one uses a standard frame size and can put the frame together themself.
In the end, my guess is your first print and your frame would put your initial cost at or around $75.00 - $90.00.
Selling the prints would be handled by the Kenwood Theatre. They would handle to bookkeeping and pay the sales taxes. They would take a 10% - 15% fee to cover the accounting and insurance costs of hanging the art.
The art on display should be selected with the idea of selling the art to the public.
A committee of three artists from our lunch group will decide if the art is right for the venture. I will serve on the committee with Linda Howard-Bittner and one more person yet to be determined.
The should not be perceived as a big money making venture, but it should be taken seriously as a retail opportunity and thus the art being right for the venue.

This Week at Arthur's...

| Kelly and Michael-In from Brooklyn Kelly just finished her illustration masters at SVA and got into Spectrum this year. Congratulations! |
A couple of Jerry's friends who moved to Brooklyn came to lunch this week and he took a couple snaps of the lunch crowd. Too bad no one thought to take a picture of Jerry. (I even have a new iphone to break in.)

| Brian and Brennen... Justin's hand and Eddie's head behind the menu. |

| We were not in front of Jerry's mural though, unfortunately. |

Article On Comics and Low Pay in The Village Voice
Just read this article: The Comics Issue: If Cartoons Are So Big, Why Don't They Pay? Drawn and nickled and dimed
http://www.villagevoice.com/2011-04-06/news/the-comics-issue-if-cartoons-are-so-big-why-don-t-they-pay/
It is an interesting read. I am curious what you all think... The article has an especially cool illustration. It does not make the subject matter any less depressing though...

'FINAL EPIC TALES' COVER LAYOUT
Here's the final layout for the 'Epic Tales' adventure series, folks. Enjoy :)
Fall 2011-Covers
I recently finished up 2 books and they will be out in Fall. Cannot show any interiors yet, but here are the covers:
The Wild Life of Elk published for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the National Forest Service.
It is a book about elk for children and is pretty thorough.
Annie Jump Cannon, Astronomer published by Pelican. This is my first biography. I find these historical books to be very challenging because of the research.
Also, Habitat Spy is out. I will be at Blue Marble May 14th for a lunch party and signing! Hope to see you all there!

Calendar Cover
Hey, guys, I'm working on a calendar for 2012. This is the cover sketch I came up with. Any feedback would be great. I also uploaded a more detailed sketch in which I tweaked some tangents and laid in some text to hold the spot till I find the type-face I want. This is a really fun project :) Can't wait to see how the months are gonna turn out :)
Thanks,
J.
