The First Annual AIB Design Exposition
Saturday, May 10th, 2008 6pm - 9pm
Located at the Fort Point Art District

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.

More to come in the future!

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.
