Red Nose Studio illustrator, Chris Sickels, will be speaking at Indiana’s Ball State University this Friday, September 24th, at 1:00pm. His talk will focus on his work and how it evolved once he was out of school. Afterward, he will be giving a lo-fi stop-motion demo to the animation department.

Marguerite Sauvage is featured in Redefining the Line: Art Nouveau & the Female Figure, the 107-page follow-up to last year’s exhibition at the Cal State Fullerton Main Art Gallery. Like the exhibition, the book investigates the influence of Art Nouveau on contemporary artists who successfully merge the fine art and commercial art worlds. Featuring the work of Pomme Chan, Deanne Cheuk, Naja Conrad-Hansen, Aya Kato, Pandarosa, Marguerite Sauvage, Alberto Seveso, Sonya Suhariyan, Yoshi Tajima and Eveline Tarunadjaja, as well as essays by the exhibition curators, Alexandra Duron and Sarah Strozza, it is a stunning record of the well-received and highly-lauded exhibition.
