Illustration and specifically Fashion Illustration does not get enough attention here. I was recently made aware of a very talented fashion illustrator (through a Facebook friend Gerry Acerno) by the name of Jennifer Lilya. She works with traditional media to create her striking and fun images.
I was interested in learning more about her working method (she works on 90# stonehenge with acrylic washes and sumi ink) and and found these videos by PinkyShears, an online magazine for the professionals in the fashion industry. Check out the embedded videos below:

Last year with the help of Collectibles Etc. we had successful event - so we are doing it all again!
Interested cartoonists please complete the interest survey to be on the initial list of participants. We need your contact info so we will be able to contact you and make the final list where you will be confirmed to attend.
24-Hour Comics Day (24HCD) is an annual event where comic creators attempt to produce from scratch a 24 page comic in 24 hours. This idea was born in 1990 from a dare Scott McCloud, noted comic creator and author of Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics and Making Comics made to his friend, and fellow comic artist, Steve Bissette.
Additional information about 24-Hour Comics Day can be had at :
