The Graphic Artists Guild's Guest Artist Series is an excellent opportunity to learn from established illustrators and designers, and find inspiration/ideas for your own creativity.

This event has come and gone. Thanks to Fish McGill for putting together such a great presentation which included illustrations, movie clips and song clips.
