Illustration Week Culminates with Parsons' Pictoplasma Conference

New York City’s Illustration Week rolls on, and we suggest setting aside the latter part of your Saturday for Pictoplasma NYC at Parsons The New School for Design. Organized by Pictoplasma “brain-fathers” and curators Lars Denicke and Peter Thaler along with Parsons Illustration chair Steven Guarnaccia, the conference will celebrate the artistic creation of character design with lectures, panel discussions, and short film screenings. On the agenda: Peter de Seve, whose work you’ll recognize from New Yorker covers, Finding Nemo, and the Ice Age movies, will discuss the process of creating iconic characters.
