Nickelodeon Magazine Internship And Me in New York
Current Quote:
"If I understood what was going on it wouldn't be HALF as fun!"
So I've been sitting on this information for a while now, afraid that if I said anything out loud that the earth might open up and swallow me whole. But as all my forms have been signed, and no one has mentioned it wouldn't be ok for me to talk about it, I think it's ok for me to say now.
This summer my illustration program has a co-op (internship) that we each had to find a position for. And I was able to secure a position at Nick (Nickelodeon) Magazine in New York. This is a pretty huge for me, not only is Nick Magazine an amazing opportunity as they are my ideal place to work at, but also this means moving to New York City with my insanely talented girlfriend *piratecore for the summer. I'm going to be spending as much time as I can at Nick but since the talks with the Manging Editor seem to be leading me to believe I'll only be in 3 days a week I want to try to maximize my time when not at Nick with talking to some galleries/companies/illustrators while I'm down there. My hope is to show some galleries my work in hopes of opening up some doors for possible shows. Talk to some companies about possible work either now or in the future. And also talk to some professional illustrators about what it's like to be an illustrator in New York, or just some general tips.
If anyone here is from the New York area and knows of some good illustration/artist spots then any information would be greatly appreciated. Any illustrators looking to help give some tips in exchange for coffee or a meet up then that would be appreciated too. Also anyone willing to offer some "how to survive in New York City" tips so I can survive my co-op would be great in my books.
Anyways, that's the big news for now. On a smaller note, I was elected President of my college program's illustration committee yesterday. This means co-ordinating things like fund raising and organizing the end of the year show. I take it as a huge compliment that the people in my program nominated/voted for me and I hope we can have a kick ass show.
