INFO MTG + COLORING CONTEST!

Hey hey hey!

The BYUIA is back, and we're back with a vengeance! This year is going to rock so hard we'll barely be able to contain the awesomeness.

We're kicking the year off with an opening social/information meeting. This meeting is for ANY illustration student, regardless of whether or not you are in the club. There, you will find information on:

-How to get involved in the BYU-IA
-Our brand-new mentoring program (way sweet)
-How to become involved in the Illustration program
-Get a heads-up on opportunities, events, and happenings that are coming soon to help you really jump-start your career if you can prepare now

PLUS...

free food.

AND

A coloring contest. If you print the following flier (or come to the BFA studio to grab a copy)....

and color it with crayons, and bring it to the meeting...you can be rewarded for your fine work.

So, everyone be there! PLEASE try to make it. It will be an hour of food, fun, and information that is geared to help YOU, the aspiring illustration student. 

See you Thursday! If you have any questions, e-mail us at byuillustrators@gmail.com

BROTIQUE WEEK!

Hey all you BYU-IA peeps! 

School's almost here and I've been in denial until I realized that we're going to have an awesome BYU-IA this year. Get excited now! 

And remember Will Strong, last year's BYU-IA fearless leader? Well, check this out: 

He's in this group, and both he and the other fellas are absolutely amazing artists. These events are going to be great! These guys really know their stuff. To learn more about Brotique, click here.  

And stay tuned for upcoming BYU-IA activities! It'll be sweeeeet. Promise.

T-SHIRTS!

Hi people! Our T-shirts are HERE! If you're in the studio, I'll just put yours on your desk so look for it. If not, please pick it up tomorrow, April 20 at the BFA studio, F-455 of the H-fac. I'll be there between noon and 2 pm so I can check you off the list. If you can't make it at that time, I totally understand. Just let me know and we can work something out. Thanks!

BYU-IA BIRTHDAY PARTY: CANCELLED

Sorry, folks, just got word that the party has been cancelled. Sorry to those who were excited for it!

So...check this out: (click to enlarge)

Please remember:

1) This is a pot-luck. Please sign up to bring something on the back of the studio door (F-255 in the H-fac) or e-mail back to us and we can assign you something.

2) We'd like to have some caricatures--just line drawings--of any of our professors (especially Bro. Newbold since we don't have a game for him yet), so we can bring crayons and color! ...Since that's what we do. If anyone's interested, just let us know (or just do it) but get your drawing to us by Friday at 3pm and we'll make copies for everyone. If not, our party will be coloring page-less, but still rockin.

It's gonna be great! Bring whomever you'd like --even non-art people (yeah, we like them too) :) -- everyone in!

Alice Illustrations

For those of us in the Narrative 2 class working on illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I thought that these collections of Alice Illustrations would be particularly interesting and useful. Even if you're not in the class, it's interesting to see how many different ways the same story can be illustrated.

T-SHIRT winners!!

I know...it's been forever. Things got super crazy there for a while; I apologize. Anyway, we have t-shirt design winners! It was a very close competition, but here is the final design:

...

Ta-dah! Michelle Weaver is the designer of this lovely owl. Well done! Thanks to everyone else who participated. Really. The designs this year were amazing!

Because the designs were compatible, we will use Sarah Bowthorpe's oh-so-clever (and oh-so-true) phrase on the back of the shirt:

Again, this was such a fun competition. Thanks to all of you who participated and sent in designs! (Not to name names, but...thanks to Keri Dockter, Claire Plimpton, Nicole Hengen and Miranda Whitten, who designed our awesome runner-up!)

To all BYU-IA members: please e-mail your t-shirt size to byuillustrators@gmail.com on or before midnight on March 26th! I think they're normal mens' t-shirt sizes. If not, we'll let you know. Thanks!

Awww, the good old days of awkward introductions.

Ok, so maybe it wasn't this bad.
Maybe.
