Deborah (Manager of New Product Development) and I went to the Society of Illustrators on East 63rd Street in Manhattan on Friday night to see Nate Williams talk. And we’re now officially in love.

With the Society of Illustrators. Why? Who did you think I was talking about? Oh, we love Nate too. He’s prolific in his work that’s for sure, but also has a must have desire in this world of art – the desire to communicate. He has 5 websites, promotes using Twitter, Facebook, blogging, etc.

But he’s also just a genuine guy, ready to share with any illustrator anything he’s learned. If you want to know more, you must check him out.

But this venue…..man. The walls were covered with art from the ages. Very excited to see it all in the flesh.

(I’m looking for the artist’s name of that Sarah Palin caricature. Looks familiar, right? Rolling Stone, The New Yorker?)

The only disappointing part of the Society was their gift shop. I mean seriously, look at these TOTALLY LAME bags, right?

I think I’ve seen better ones in my life….ones that are made from 95% post consumer recycled material and are just loaded with the coolest designs that I’ve ever had the pleasure to lay my eyes on.
