100 Years Ago



Originally known as the Asch Building, the Brown Building on Washington Place in Greenwich Village was the site of the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. The factory burned in 30 minutes, and 146 lives were lost in the blaze. (Amal Chen/The Epoch Times)

why 3x3?
The 3x3 ProShow is the only truly international competition for illustration. No other show is as completely international as ours. While many shows showcase the work of their own country’s illustrators, 3x3 knows no boundaries.
¶ Each year we receive entries from all corners of the globe and we’re the only show where the judging panels are truly international.
¶ And we’re the only show that puts their exclusive illustration annual on the newsstand at a price that every art director can afford. And with our unique size we’re front and center on the shelf. Greater visibility for our winners. Greater visibility for illustration as a whole.
¶ Plus our winners will be invited to participate in our next 3x3 Illustration Directory which is mailed out free to a highly targeted list of 6,000+ art directors and art buyers in the US.

Children’s Show entries must be sent to us no later than April 22, 2011

About 3x3
3x3 is the first magazine devoted entirely to the art of contemporary illustration.
We take an in-depth look at the art and environment of three illustrators. We explore their influences. How they work with clients. How they got their
first big break. Each article is written by a fellow illustrator who knows exactly what our audience wants to hear. From the US to Europe, Asia or wherever, we’ll stay tuned to what’s going on in the world of illustration.

MICHAEL REX & MARSHALL CAVENDISH ON CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

Tarrytown, NY (March 8, 2011) - Marshall Cavendish Children’s Books, an imprint of Marshall Cavendish Corporation, announced today that Margery Cuyler, Publisher of the imprint, will be featured on an episode of NBC's alternative series, “The Celebrity Apprentice,” airing March 13th (9/10 PM ET/PT).

In the episode, the star-studded cast featuring celebrities such as Gary Busey and La Toya Jackson will split into two teams and engage themselves in one of the most prominent niches in the book publishing industry - children’s literature. Both teams will author an original children’s picture book to help raise money for charity. Their works will be evaluated by actress Robin Holly and by Marshall Cavendish Children’s Books publisher Margery Cuyler.

The winning celebrity team will present their charity with a check. Last season, “The Celebrity Apprentice” raised over $1.25 million dollars for charity.

"The Celebrity Apprentice" is produced by Mark Burnett Productions in association with Trump Productions LLC. Mark Burnett, Donald Trump, Eden Gaha and Page Feldman are executive producers. Nancy Gunn is the co-executive producer.
