Open Illustration Forum 2011
Posted: February 5, 2011

At last! Just released by Fantagraphics is Stigmata by Lorenzo Mattotti, one of the finest, previously untranslated, European modern masterpieces. If you thought Mattotti was already a grand maestro of colour in Fires and Jekyll & Hyde, wait till you see him unleash his passions in pen and ink linework, and see him excelling across a spectrum from feverish frenzies to the most delicate traceries.
So I’m thrilled to announce that you can spend the whole day with Lorenzo Mattotti at Open Illustration Forum 2011 run by University College Falmouth on Friday, 11 March. I’ll be chairing a day of presentations and discussion exploring the illustrator as interpreter and adaptor of texts and ideas, and this year’s other guest speakers include George Hardie, John Vernon Lord and Orly Orbach. Tickets cost £25 for external visitors. Don’t miss out, book your place now!
