Catalina Estrada, Emiliano Ponzi and Red Nose Studio illustrated posters for the 15th Annual Croquet Ball benefiting the Penfield Children’s Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Croquet Ball is the signature fundraising event for the center that helps infants and children, both with and without disabilities, reach their full potential through education, therapy services and family programs.

Held annually at the Milwaukee Country Club, the event includes a cocktail reception, exclusive croquet match, gourmet dinner and silent auction, where guests are invited to bid on the illustrators’ posters. Past illustrators that have contributed to the event include James Jean, Josh Cochran, Travis Lampe, Frank Stockton, Jon Han, Ronald Kurniawan, Eduardo Recife, Pomme Chan, Laura Plansker, Sam Weber, Jessica Hische, Chris Buzelli and Chris Silas, just to name a few. Nearly $310, 000 was raised last year.

The 15th Annual Croquet Ball takes place on Saturday, September 11th, 2010.

HOW magazine recently blogged about Red Nose Studio and the great cover he illustrated for the magazine’s 2010 Self-Promotion Issue. The cover was inspired by Chris’ early encounter with a very famous illustrator who accused him of strutting like a peacock in his own self-promotion efforts. I guess that strutting has paid off as this is his fourth cover for the magazine since his first in June of 1999, trumping design legend, David Carson, in number of HOW covers. This issue also features over 100 winners from the magazine’s Promotion Design Awards and loads of tips and ideas for finding new clients.
