DAVE DEVRIES NOTSTOCK GUEST!

Dave DeVries is an award winning illustrator with 20 years of experience visualizing high impact, high drama images.

Some of his illustration clients include Dreamworks SKG, Lucasfilm, Universal Studios, Sega, The 3DO company, Seed Studio, ASCAP, Tor Books and Marvel and DC Comics among others. If you've ever been on the Mummy Returns ride at Universal Studios Theme Park (Florida and California) then chances are you've seen his work. Much of it was featured in the ride itself. For the last two years Dave was a contractor for Seed Studio, a Taiwanese video game company heading up their "Seed Studio West" division as an Art Director, Illustrator and Promotions Manager. He currently freelances within the advertising and gaming industry.

Introducing Landland!

Each year I introduce the NOTSTOCK guests by posting a few images of their work and telling you a little bit about them.

The first guest I'd like to introduce for this year's event is Landland.

Landland are the dynamic duo, Dan Black and Jes Seamans. They make gorgeous crazy awesome posters, art prints, CD/vinyl packaging, and other illustration and design work. They will screen print October 6-8, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Beaver Dam in the Student Center on the Minot State University campus. Their work will be displayed in the Northwest Art Center, 2nd floor of Hartnett Hall at MSU, and at 62 Doors Gallery & Studios, downtown Minot. Dan and Jes will also give a presentation of their work at 8 p.m. at 62 Doors during the NOTSTOCK closing reception.

NOTSTOCK 2011

You probably thought we'd forgotten about NOTSTOCK. No way! NOTSTOCK 2011 will celebrate the relationship between words and pictures in posters, comics, zines, and other vehicles that explore visual and verbal voices (fancy talk, huh?!).

This year, Oct 6-8, 2011, the following awesome people will be our guests:

Poster artists Dan Black and Jessica Seamans of Landland;

Chloe Eudaly--writer, publisher, and owner of the legendary Portland bookstore, Reading Frenzy;

Poster and comic artist DWITT, will be returning to NOTSTOCK;

Dave DeVries--illustrator, painter, comic artist, and author of The Monster Engine; maybe one other guest; and of course, local bands will join the excellent fun!
