Benefit Concerts and Awards With Benefits

Hi blog, should I just put the image(s) at the top from now on? I probably should right? Right. This is the save-the-date card for WBGO's Champions of Jazz Benefit Concert on November 3rd. They're celebrating their 30th anniversary this year and its a pleasure to have them as a client at this moment in their broadcast life.

They're definitely going big this year and having the benefit at the Lincoln Center. NBC's Lester Holt is the Master of Ceremonies and the show will feature performances by the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. I'm not sure when tickets go on sale, but it'll be a great evening to say the least.

In other news, been busy these past couple of weeks. Picked up a couple of new clients and been entering a few illustration competitions. Notably, the Altpick Awards is having their open submissions and its reasonably priced with awesome prizes. I also entered the Swatch Young Illustrator Awards, which looks pretty fun. They only take personal work (no commercial work) and submissions had to be in pdf format. I included a bunch of stuff along with a resume at the end. Feel free to download it here:

So that's it for now.

This week went by much too quickly.

All That Jazz... The Fundraising Edition

Sup Blog. Yea that's right, I'm blogging on the regular now so you better keep up. I recently got another call from WBGO Jazz88, the best jazz station in the NJ/NY/CT area. This year is their 30th anniversary, and like always they depend on contributions from their loyal listeners, as they're a non-profit organization. Anyway, part of their fund raising includes neighborhood and community interaction and they needed some banners to be displayed outdoors.

Its fairly simple, and incorporates elements on their logo (the sax player) as well as their official purple. Its about 2 feet tall, so they'll be displayed at a good size.

Also it goes without saying, but WBGO is easily the best jazz station in the NY/NJ area, and they need support to keep doing what they do. If you want to contribute, you can click here. Also, tune in to 88.3fm to hear awesomeness.
