About
CBIG
CBIG, the
Children's Book
Illustrators Group, was formed in 1987 by a group of
Brooklyn
illustrators to share publishing information and
industry experiences.
Today our member illustrators and author/illustrators
create art for
the trade, editorial, and educational markets, and do
product design,
licensing, graphic and Web design, fine art and
animation. Some also do
school visits and work as teaching artists. CBIG
members are brought
together by their interest in producing exceptional
artwork and books
for children.
CBIG's guest
speakers and
portfolio reviewers include Illustrators, Editors,
Art Directors,
Art Reps,
and other
industry professionals.
If you're
interested in
being a guest speaker or portfolio reviewer, please
contact Donna at dmiskend@aol.com. An honorarium is
provided.
