Revelations - The North American Art and Design Workshop

Revelations is a 4 day workshop style event, when various artists who work for top tier CG companies come together and give a variety of lessons on their CG work for upcoming artists and various public. I personally do not know much about the event, living in Australia and all, however it seems like a great function where people can mingle with the great artists and learn a lot while having fun along the way.

CGSociety has a preview poster of the event up on their forums as well as information of the event.

A special 4 Day weekend event unlike any workshop to date…..The event is Friday through Monday with an earth-quaking party (3 bands, live painting, performers, nude models, dancers, free gourmet food, drinks for those over 21 and the most memorable venue in Seattle) FRIDAY NIGHT!! Though the party is just fuel for the fire. This show is all about cutting edge art and design in entertainment and it is a culmination of all our events experience to date.

Creative powerhouses from companies like Blizzard, Bungie, Massive Black, id software, Oddworld, Midway, Obsidian, Radical/THQ, Marvel Comics, Flagship Studios, Project Offset, The ConceptArt.Org Atelier, and Sega will be on hand as well as dozens of other companies in attendance including Microsoft’s Ensemble Studios (yeah they are hiring and recuriting) and more.

The person representing Flagship Studios is Jason Felix, who according to the official Revelations website is:

Jason Felix is known for his digital photo manipulations which have won awards and appeared in numerous art collections of Expose and Spectrum. Jason is also held accountable for creating character/creature concept art on high profile video games franchises such as StarCraft, Prince of Persia, and Hellgate:London.

He lives in San Francisco and can be found fraternizing with other local artists, wrestling his 2 cats of terror, or working at home on his next personal art project.

The event is in Seattle and runs in January 2008, from the 4th to the 7th of January. The event sounds so damn awesome and I wish we had such great things in Australia!

Hope all that go enjoy the great show and let us know how the event went!

Enjoy
