"Artists Needed," a new nonprofit group is looking for a few volunteer artists for an upcoming New York City event. CancerCare (www.cancercare.org) is a local charity that strives to improve the lives of anyone affected by cancer through counseling, financial support, and the organization of fun events that hopefully will take people's minds off illness for a while. The event we need volunteers for is a drawing table for kids at CancerCare's Valentine's Day party. Kids will come by and sit with the artists and learn how to draw whatever they like; artists who can do animated characters would be great as the kids like to request drawings of Bugs Bunny, etc. but anyone who can draw is welcome. WHEN: February 14th from 4-6:30pm WHERE: 275 7th Avenue (b/w 25th and 26th streets), 22nd Floor CONTACT: Elizabeth Winter, email: winter.edits@hotmail.com This is a one time event for just a couple hours, but there will be more events in the future, so please indicate if you would like to be put on our mailing list.

J.J. Sedelmaier to Appear At MoCCA on July 29th with Joe Strike

For the Second “Interview with an Animator”

You may not be familiar with the name, but if you’ve seen MTV’s Beavis and Butthead, Saturday Night Live’s “Saturday TV Funhouse,” [Adult Swim’s] Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law or Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen/Alpha Squad Seven, you’ve seen the work of J.J. Sedelmaier.

            Since opening up his White Plains animation studio in 1990, J.J. and his studio have created hundreds of TV productions in an amazing variety of animation styles, from retro-1950’s TV commercials to transforming Garry Trudeau, Don Martin or Al Hirschfeld’s art into animated film form.

After screening samples of his studio’s work, J.J. and animation journalist and author Joe Strike will discuss his influences, career anecdotes and some of his best known and high-profile cartoons. In addition, J.J. talks about the forgotten history of the animation industry’s early 20th century New York origins.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has put out a call for entries for "Into the Pixel," a juried exhibition of computer and videogame art to premiere at this year's E3. "Into the Pixel" is a celebration of videogame art curated by interactive entertainment industry art veterans and experts from the traditional art field. The exhibit is a joint project of E3Expo, The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, and The Graphic Arts Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The show will take place at the LACC and be accessible to the general public as well as to the more than 60,000 interactive entertainment industry executives, designers, developers, animators, journalists and retailers who attend E3Expo. Artists may contact pixelquestions@e3expo.com for more information. The Electronic Entertainment Expo held its inaugural show in 1995 with an impressive array of exhibitors and attendees. That show represented the first opportunity for everyone in the industry to meet in the same place, at the same time, at a show designed specifically to meet their business needs. It was the beginning of a thriving event where industry participants gathered to generate business and gain worldwide exposure. Ten years later, the Electronic Entertainment Expo has become the industry's most important annual gathering place. It's still the premier event for doing business with an ever-growing number of qualified industry players. In fact, because more commerce and promotion takes place here than during the other 51 weeks of the year combined, E3 is far and away the year's most concentrated gathering of qualified industry participants. More than 60,000 of the world's most influential retailers, distributors, developers, investors and media gather here for three days of intensive deal making. There's nothing else like it in the world. For more information, visit www.e3expo.com/.
