Piñata Carnival, 2007 by Fernanda Cohen

Happy Monday once again, collectors! This weekend I was taking a stroll through many of our 20x200 artist's websites, and was delighted to read this on Fernanda Cohen's:

I'm the coordinator of Special Events at the SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS OF NY, including lectures and workshops. The fourth and last event I'm coordinating in 2008 is a lecture I'm moderating with NICHOLAS BLECHMAN, the art director of the Book Review section at THE NEW YORK TIMES, and MAX BODE, art director at THE NEW YORKER.

Lecture: Art Directing and Illustrating
with Nicholas Blechman and Max Bode
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Begins at 6:30pm.
$15 non-members, $10 members, $7 students.
RSVP tara@societyillustrators.org

I also learned that 20x200 star and Summer 2006 Hey, Hot Shot,! Kate Bingaman-Burt, signed a book contract with Princeton Architectural Press. Drawings from Kate's ongoing What Did You Buy Today? series will be edited down to 650 images, bound and preserved for all eternity. The only sad news is that we'll have to wait until 2010 for the book to be released.

Congrats, Kate!
