Marketing Unusual Illustration Styles
Thursday, September 17th | 7:00-9:00 PM
Pratt Institute | Manhattan Campus
144 W 14th St., Room 213

What does it take to turn an uncommon technique into a commercially successful career? What do Art directors and designers need to know to effectively commission unusual artwork? Join Margaret Cusack and Ellen Rixford for a discussion of how they effectively brought their styles to market in the highly competitive visual communications field.

Margaret Cusack is an illustrator and graphic designer who creates "realism in stitchery and fabric." She has designed and stitched Broadway show posters, a Time Magazine cover, even soft sculpture fish for "Monty Python's Spamalot." Her 2005 retrospective exhibition at the Museum of American Illustration in New York will travel to the Hanten Museum in Logan, Kansas in 2010. Signed copies of her book, Picture Your World in Applique published by Watson-Guptill will be available.

Ellen Rixford is a multimedia sculptor who specializes in mechanical figures, automata, puppets, displays, dimensional illustration, and miniature sets. She has had a solo exhibit at the Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators in New York, and a one person show at ArtSpace in Tokyo, Japan. She has taught and guest lectured in many American art schools, and has done lecture tours in Japan and China. She is also the author of the book Three-Dimensional Illustration, published by Watson-Guptill, and is now working on a book on puppet and automaton mechanics.
