Virtual Portfolios

Ann recently e-mailed me something she's been working on for the AIB website:

Virtual AIB Portfolios!

If you, or anyone else you know that goes to AIB, has a website, send them to Ann's e-mail, kirchner@lesley.edu. Include your name, major, and graduation year, and Ann can help to improve upon the links list.

Thanks a bunch, Ann!

Shows You Should See

One thing I love about art shows is the postcards. I love collecting them. They're such nifty little keepsakes from the shows. These were ones I acquired today at school, you should all try to grab one before they run out...oh, and go to the shows, too :P





This show has been up for a while now, and the opening has already passed, but I encourage everyone to see it while they still can. For those that don't know where this is, this is the gallery that is located within the Porter Exchange Building in Cambridge. Right near all of those delicious sushi restaurants.





Another student photography exhibition, featuring photography majors Paris Visone, Chris Sanchez, and Allison Lang. The opening reception will be on March 28th from 6-8pm at the Newbury Building in Boston.





A non-AIB related postcard, the 2008 Image Awards Festival celebrates women in film and video at The Brattle Theater. On Saturday, March 29th, films will be shown from noon until midnight. Tickets can be purchased online ($15 per film, $75 for an All Access Pass). For more information, visit The Brattle Theater's website linked within the text (as well as see what else is playing there, the theater always has some awesome old movies and cartoons playing there).

Be productive and stay classy everyone.

The Class of 2008 Graphic Design students are taking matters in to their own hands and creating a great stir in this year's show. Held outside of the school, students are not only generating a great buzz for their work, they are also preparing to take the design world by storm. Expect to see some great design work, as well as hear from many important speakers in the industry.

Boston Comic Con

Julian and I were skimming through The Weekly Dig and came across an add promoting everyone's favorite event...

BOSTON COMIC CON!

That's right, boys and girls. Boston Comic Con is returning for year number three, and will feature comic legend Carmine Infantino, a legend from the Silver Age of D.C. Comics. Also posted on the website is information for New York Comic Con, which will be happening from April 18th to April 20th. Our past readers of The Sketch Report know that Comic Cons are always a favorite of ours to write about, and with the big names coming to both the New York and Boston Cons, it definitely promises to be another awesome year for comic lovers everywhere.

For more information about who will be there, prices, locations, etc., visit the links provided within the post.

Have a great Spring Break!

GLOVEBOX Presents the Illustration Show





I'm pleased to inform you guys about an upcoming show presented by GLOVEBOX. GLOVEBOX is an artist organization created by former AIB alumni Liz Comperchio and Jodie Baehre McMenamin, meant to help aspiring and upcoming artists to show their work. GLOVEBOX, in collaboration with the Senior Illustration Portfolio class, will be presenting the show at Goody Glover's in the North End on Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 from 7pm - 9pm.

Many of the illustrators from the 2008 Senior Illustration Show will be hanging their work for sale in the restaurant. Portions of the proceeds will be donated to a number of charities selected by the artists and by GLOVEBOX. I encourage everyone to come see the work being put on display, as well as look in to GLOVEBOX's wonderful organization.
