This Wednesday 1 / 29th the Symposium guest will be our
very own Bob Dacey. Originally from Orlando, FL, after a brief stint in the
Army, Bob earned a degree in Illustration from Art Center in California. In the
70's and 80's Dacey was part of an international group of illustrators working
out of Connecticut. Some of Bob's clients were American Airlines, Kimberly
Clark,
Reader's Digest, and
Boy's Life. An illustrator of
over 30 children's books, Dacey, merged his business with his wife Debra
Bandelin, to form Bandelin-Dacey Studios. Their first collaborative effort,
Miriam's Cup, won a Silver Medal from the New York
Society of Illustrators in 1998. Bob also won a Gold Medal from the Society in
Advertising.
For over 30 years Dacey has been a part of the
Illustration faculty at Syracuse University. It is the mark of what a great
teacher Bob is that I've seen his presentation often and each time I learn
something. I'm proud to call Bob Dacey a colleague, a mentor, and a
friend.
We are going to have a fun day!
