Author Description

Product Description ILLOFIOURTEEN changes the way illustration directories are presented. Most important it is a directory just as interested in who gets in as to who doesn't. More like a curated show than an advertising vehicle, artists must be invited to contribute. They have also made it easier for art directors to find artists to commission by dividing the directory into categories. And limiting each artist to one image per page. 3x3 has designed a directory that is easier to maneuver and more handsome to look at. Plus the size is portable, drop it in your briefcase, take it on the subway, carry it with you on your lunch break. Does it feature every good artist? No, but it does showcase artists who have met the high standards of 3x3, the only international magazine of contemporary illustration. Artists from all over the world. Artists who always do a great job. About the Author Charles Hively is the editor, design director and publisher of 3x3 Magazine and Books.
