Here We Grow AGAIN!
August 23rd, 2009
Happy August Everyone! Please welcome our newest members, the prolifically published and fantastic Scot Ritchie, well known for humour and kids illustrations, and award winning Qin Leng whose work is both sweet and innocent while thoughtful and nostaligic. 
Inspiration abounds on Toronto Illustrators this summer so be sure to check out our members and their work.
In other site news, we’re putting the call out for submissions to our free online gallery this fall. The theme is "waiting" and we’d love to see what your interpretation would be! If you would like to join us, and we hope you do, please email webmaster@torontoillustrators.com with your maximum 400 px wide (and any lenth) image, and your 90 x 90 px icon for the gallery index page, by August 31st. The gallery will be posted several days later. Be sure to include whatever contact info and description you would like to include.
My Favorite Figure Drawing, Part 2
August 1st, 2009Is it possible to be wearing something and seem more naked than when fully nude? At the Keyhole Sessions, like Dr. Sketchy’s, the models come accessorized, but here the costumes mostly consist of some rope. Yes, that’s right, we’ve got Rope Bondage Figure Drawing going on in our fair city! The Keyhole Sessions take place every Tuesday, between 8 and 10, at 100 Ossington between Queen and Dundas. Cover is 12 bucks per session, but if you buy 5 sessions in advance you get a discount. For more information, as well as a small gallery to give you an idea of what your in for, check out their website at:
As always, if you’re thinking about going, send me an email at stefanvalent@yahoo.com. As long as I’m not tied up that night I’d be happy to join in!
And if there’s anyone who reads this who can think of a professional application for having rope bondage figure drawing in your portfolio, I need to know.
Toronto Illustrators Grows Again!
July 27th, 2009
A big welcome to the wonderful new addition to the Toronto Illustrators family, John Stuart. If you aren’t familiar with John’s work, you really must check it out! Vibrant, clean, and fun, John’s fantastic cartoon illustrations take me right back to my childhood, and who doesn’t want to feel like a kid again?
In other member news, we’ve got a new Spotlight for you… This time, it’s Rachel Natalie Rawlins.
I always learn something new when I read the insights of other artists on their influences, work habits, and thoughts on the industry. It doesn’t hurt when the artist does great work, either!
