Eric Yahnker is without a doubt one of the most exciting artists working today. His humorous, meticulously rendered graphite and colored pencil drawings and detailed process pieces examine contemporary American society, pop culture and politics, winning an army of admirers for his satirical way of representing the world.

Since graduating from the California Institute of Arts in 2000 his work has been exhibited internationally, with his first London solo show set to open this summer. He also has a host of impressive animation credits, including working on the storyboard for South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, not mention drawing and directing Seinimation, a series of short animated bonus features on the DVD for Seinfeld’s last four seasons.

We are hugely excited that he will be flying over from LA to talk at this year’s symposium! Join us – get your tickets here!
