Carlos Mendoza, Frankie B. Washington and Kenny Kiernan to discuss creating art for toys and games at Play Creators Conference

A special panel session will delve into the role great art plays in successful toys and games at year’s Virtual Play Creators Conference.

The Art of Play panel will welcome:

– Kenny Kiernan, Freelance Illustrator
– Frankie B. Washington, Freelance Illustrator

The panellists will discuss various aspects of life as illustrators working in the toy space, how it compares to other industries and what budding artists need to know in order to succeed in the industry.

The session will go out in a special daily Mojo Nation newsletter during the first week of September (Tuesday September 1st – Friday September 4th) as part of Mojo Nation’s Virtual Play Creators Conference, with all content released during the week totally free to watch.
