We just got this email from Illustration Alum Liz Lomax:

I wanted to let you know about a lecture I am giving at the Society of Illustrators at the end of this month. I’ll be talking about how I got started as a 3D Illustrator ten years ago and how I’ve turned some wire, tinfoil and Sculpey into a career. I’d love to see you there if you can make it.

Liz Lomax, a three dimensional illustrator in New York, is widely recognized as one of the leading figures in her field. She illustrates using a unique process she developed herself over ten years as a professional. Her work has won awards and appeared in many annuals and books on illustration. Her clients include some of the best names in advertising and magazines.

Curated and designed by Kevin O’Callaghan, chair of 3D Design at SVA, the exhibition highlights the inspiration and collaboration behind Heller’s many achievements as a writer and art director. On view will be over 100 covers of The New York Times Book Review that Heller art directed and a visual anthology of his major publications, with select volumes available to peruse. An adjacent video installation will feature interviews with co-authors Mirko Ilic, Lita Talarico (co-chair of the MFA Design Department at SVA), Seymour Chwast, Marshall Arisman (chair of the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay Department at SVA) and Gail Anderson (on the faculty of the MFA Design Department at SVA) about their collaborative process. Nearby, visitors will be able to browse Heller’s many contributions to American and foreign periodicals at a full-scale replica of a New York City newsstand. The centerpiece of the multimedia display will be a larger-than-life photo montage of Heller’s library with recorded commentary about his collection of design ephemera and its role in his research and writing.
