Brian has been serving as a speaker and critic at colleges, professional organizations, and conferences for over a decade. He’s had the privilege of speaking at Pratt, Parsons, Maryland Institute College of Art, College for Creative Studies, New York City College of Technology, numerous SCBWI chapters, the Highlights Foundation, and the Typographics festival at Cooper Union. Interested in having him speak to your students or members? Please feel free to say hello.

Please note that Brian feels strongly that illustration created with generative AI is unethical because it is trained on the work of human artists without their consent, and its use threatens the existence of entire creative disciplines. If your organization promotes, celebrates, accepts, or condones the use of illustration created with generative AI, know that Brian will not accept your invitation.
