Comic-Con San Diego will be here before you know it, July 12—July 15. Based in San Diego, we find it necessary to entertain good friends and lovers of art and culture each year. Over the past 11 years we’ve had the good fortune of hosting cultural events featuring fine artists, live music, film and educational events. (Above, Anthony Freda, Jolby sketches and doodles).
Over the years we have presented thematic exhibitions including: Lucid Dreams (2011), Survey Select (2010), Scribble.08 (2009), SuperHero (2005-2008), only to mention a few. (Above, Ryan Bubnis).
To celebrate, CN headquarters and their multi-talented team: design department, art directors, talented artists and Murphy Design united to configure a dream list of the who’s who of fine art, animation and illustration. (Above, Joel Nakamura, Mark Todd’s studio snap).
Invitations were extended to an amazing group of artists from around the world and the results are in. 75 World-class artists will make this year’s Comic-Con San Diego memorable, as original art will be displayed, (location, to be announced in May), in celebration of Cartoon Network’s 20th Anniversary. Stay tuned and check out the inspired of artists. (Above, Jordin Isip’s view, Jack Teagle’s sketchbook).
