I am often asked how an artist can be included in the annual published catalog. The most obvious way is your image is selected by the jury to be included in the traveling exhibit. The selected image will be published in the "Selected Artists" section of the catalog.

The other way is that you have the option to include an image that was not selected for the traveling exhibit in the "Designated Artists" section of the annual published catalog. In order to have the option of being included in the "Designated Artist" section you have to submit to the competition.

The third way to be in the published catalog is to be a member. All member's contact information is printed in the back of the catalog in the member directory.

John Dollus of Dallas, Texas and the American Society of Architectural Illustrator’s 2014 President, invites you to submit your best works to Architecture in Perspective 29. AIP 29 is a juried INTERNATIONAL architectural delineation competition that has included work by the most accomplished contemporary architects and architectural illustrators from around the world. AIP 29 is open to professional illustrators, architects, designers, teachers, students, corporations, and anyone engaged in the serious pursuit of architectural drawing. The selected pieces from the competition will be included in a traveling exhibition consisting of approximately 60 pieces of artwork selected by a jury of respected professionals from the fields of architecture, illustration, journalism, and design education. This exhibition travels to various venues throughout the U.S. and overseas. Currently, you can view AIP 28 on display at Gensler in San Francisco.

Those are really great idea! I'm going to pass them along to the ASAI 2014 President.

Nobody has any input on what they would like to see at an AI Conference?

In my back yard, interesting.

See you there?

I am helping to organize a 3-day architectural rendering conference in Dallas, TX next year and wanted to ask the membership here what sort of topics you feel are most beneficial? This can be anything from architectural tours, classroom workshops, business seminars, inspirational TED talk type lectures, meet and greets with designers, informal happy hours, etc.

What are your thoughts?

Here a project from the archives. I did this one a couple of years ago. The low profile architecture is meant to blend into the lava rock landscape and not block the views.

Thanks everyone!

@Rich, cool! I never thought I'd make it to the gallery. I'll have to try harder next time.

Podium?

Frederik, did you ever think people would take you so seriously?

No... I thought it was so obvious...

I think Kim thinks he is on a roll.

Who wants to ban him?

Come on guys... Have you lost your sense of humor...?

You turkey!

Here is a project I finished recently using parts of Alan's method.

What! I didn't get mine either!

Nice!

This is a very interesting concept. I am looking forward to seeing it progress. You certainly have some other interested and talented people who are giving you great advice!

Great stuff Tom!

Great model! I'd buy one!

Very pretty. I think it's hard to get a pretty 2D elevation. You've been successful!

Nice job Eric!

Wonderful work!
