If you're thinking about pursuing a career as an illustrator (or even as a side job), consider attending the first annual
Nuts & Bolts conference, sponsored by
illustration mag 3x3 and aimed primarily at students. Not only will you hear from some awesome pros (
Marcos Chin! Aaron Meshon! Chris Buzelli! and more!) on the more business-y side of being an illustrator (or freelance artist of any kind really), but there will also be studio tours, portfolio reviews and invaluable opportunities to network. It takes place July 9-10 in NYC and up until June 10 you can get a discount on early registration.
