The Escape From Illustration Island podcast is back
The Escape From Illustration Island podcast is back after a 5 year break!
https://illustrationage.com/podcast/
“Conversations with Illustrators, Art Directors, Art Reps, and other creative professionals about the Illustration industry and a lot more!”
Hosted by Thomas James, thomasjamesillustration.com & goodjobtommy.com, the first interview (Episode 83) is with Martin Gee, ohmgee.com, Senior Art Director at TIME and freelance illustrator based in New York :
The first “real” episode of the newly returned Escape from Illustration Island Podcast features an in-depth conversation with Martin Gee, Illustrator and Senior Art Director of TIME Magazine! We talk about some pretty interesting stuff like growing up Star Wars, that time he accidentally won an emmy, and then that other time he gave his pet snake to his best friend, kind of.
Oh, and plenty of illustration talk, of course! Martin proved to be an amazingly open and generous guest, and this hour-long episode is packed with music, insight and fun!
Pretty good one. Now I’m going back through and listening from the start.
Also, Thomas James was to be interviewed by Drawn & Drafted, drawnanddrafted.com, yesterday but due to technical issues, it will be rescheduled. Sign up for D&D’s enews to get an update of when this is rescheduled.

Bernie Wrightson
Sad to learn of Bernie Wrightson’s passing today, March 19, 2017. I enjoyed and was inspired by his work. (Pictured is my copy of Wrightson’s book “Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein, Introduction by Stephen King“)
Per Wikipedia:
…an American artist, known for co-creating the creature Swamp Thing, his Frankenstein illustration work, and for his other horror comics and illustrations, which feature his trademark intricate pen and brush work.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Wrightson
Per Wrightson’s Site:
It is with great sorrow that I must announce the passing of my beloved husband, Bernie. We thank you for all the years of love and support. His obituary is below:
After a long battle with brain cancer, legendary artist Bernie Wrightson has passed away…
