Illustration Institute

We’re going WILD over our first summer program, an evening with Maine’s own Peter Brown , creator of the Wild Robot! Peter will talk about the world of his book series and the behind-the-scenes creation of the story that inspired the Oscar-nominated Dreamworks film. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 7 from 7-8:30 at the TEIA: this is an event you don’t want to miss! 🤖🌲

This event is free, registration is not required.

Here's another AI manufactured image, stealing the style off no less than Norman Rockwell. The image on the left was made by a environmental non profit using Norman Rockwell's "Freedom Of Speech" as a prompt. This behavior is immoral, unethical, illegal and must stop. I spoke with the Executive Director of offending non-profit and after hearing my rationale and appeal, agreed to take the image off their website. Kudos to him. Nevertheless, I would urge you to share this with your friends to help increase awareness of this growing problem.

RABBIT! RABBIT!!

Giving away some my drawing tricks to a talented and enthusiastic bunch of artists at the PMA yesterday.

Liza Donnelly interviewed by Heather Cox Richardson after the screening of the excellent documentary, WOMEN LAUGHING, produced by Liza and Kathleen Hughes. The film stars New Yorker cartoonists Sarah Akinterinwa, Roz Chast, Liana Finck, Emily Flake, Amy Hwang, Bishakh Som and... Liz Donnelly. We're thinking a summer screening at Illustration Institute perhaps? Stay tuned.
Thanks to the PMA and Bernard Osher for bringing this extraordinary program to Portland.
