Thanks to the unexpected necessity for another instant office move, our transition from one year to the next could have been slightly smoother. But comfort schmomfort, when the future is filled with thrills of upcoming festivities: February in New York, April in Berlin. |
 |
1) LAST DAYS OF THE PICTOPLASMA BERLIN FESTIVAL 2013 EARLY BIRD OFFER! |
Join us April 10 - 14 for Berlin's annual Festival with artist lectures, workshops, panels, animation screenings, a multitude of exhibitions and steady stream of live-performances. In addition to the already announced speakers such as above depicted El Grand Chamaco (MX), Jeff Soto (USA), LowBros (GER), Ted Parker (NL) or Olimpia Zagnoli (IT), the line-up has meanwhile grown into a truly diverse and illuminating investigation into the outer rims of character art and beyond. |
 Uber-doodler Jon Burgerman (UK), prominent key artists traversing the gap of contemporary art, design and entrepreneurism. |
 Bakea (SP), creator of three eyed, pastel colored monsters inhabiting the pop-infused version of a natural history museum. |
 Osian Efnisien (UK), responsible for minuscule characters, fragile patterns and felt-tip psychedelia. |
 Anima Boutique (FI), edgy Helsinki based animation production company, who have agreed to unravel their well-kept secret. |
 Felt Mistress (UK), queen to an endlessly expanding universe of state-of-the-art hand crafted cuddly creatures. |
 Pepper Melon (ARG), Buenos Aires production company famed equally for their breathtaking mastery of all styles and their expertise with all industries and cultures. |
That's fairly soon. This little reminder should leave you with just the right amount of time to consider, act, and secure your online festival pass for a full 5 day character overdose you are unlikely to regret. |

| 2) PICTOPLASMA NYC CONFERENCE FEBRUARY 8+9, SECOND TIME LUCKY! Should, for what ever reason, Berlin in April be not your Spiel, you have the great chance to alternatively (or additionally!) catch up with the world of contemporary characterism on the other side of this globe, coming February 8+9, at the Pictoplasma NYC conference.  |
Everyone deserves a second chance, and this time we're confident that mother nature/global warming will let us succeed. After last November's tragedy all seems set and as snug as a bug in a rug: the beautiful Tishman Auditorium has electricity + is pre-heated, and the likes of Buff Monster, Julia Pott, Jason Freeny, Ryan Quincy, Mark Gmehling, David OReilly, Gemma Correll, Sonny, Anna Hrachovec, Andy Rementer and many more await you for a dense, two day program of inspiring artist presentations, conference lectures and animation festival eye candy! peter and lars |
