I normally reserve recommending an event until I've attended, but Pictoplasma, on Sept 4-6 is a one time deal this year, and I want to give people heads up to get tickets. Tickets are pricey, at 170 per person, but I am going with my graphic team for work and if you too are in the graphic arts, maybe you can convince your company to shell out the dough.
It's a series of lectures, screenings, question and answers, performances, and exhibits based around contemporary character design and art. Speakers include Tim Biskup, David O'Reilly, Philip Hunt of Studio aka, and the artist duo Friends With You.
But what do you think?
