Registration for ICON7 has begun, and The Illustration Conference has officially released this year's poster. Art directed by illustrator and board president John Hendrix, this year's poster combines the typographic expertise of Jessica Hische and the illustrative brilliance of Chris Buzelli. To read more about this "unusual collision between a design-ustrator and illu-signer," check out John Hendrix's blog post on art directing the two-sided poster: John Hendrix: Drawing on Deadline.

“I encourage every illustrator, whether newbie or experienced, wallflower or well-connected, to attend ICON7 and soak up the knowledge, camaraderie and enthusiasm that flourishes there. While I currently serve as the Ethic Chair for this year’s conference, my advice is not promotional. I attended ICON2 - ICON6 and look forward to attending future ICON illustration conferences, wherever they are held.”
