Watch: The Art of Play

Posted on 4th September 2020 By Billy Langsworthy

How important is great artwork in selling toys and games? What’s the key to thriving as a freelance artist in the play space? Why does the romantic idea of ‘the starving artist’ do more harm than good? All this, and more, is covered in this Art of Play panel session.

The session is chaired by artist David Foldvari and welcomes Kenny Kiernan (Illustrator), Frankie B. Washington (Illustrator) and Carlos Mendoza (Art Director at Spirit Halloween).
