Trustees Room, 11th Floor, Tower Building
You've seen his work at rockband.com, Johnny Cupcake tees, MassArt, and in Rock Band 2, now meet him and learn how he goes from initial sketch to final piece. So grab your sketchbook, pick out your favorite song, and join us for what will be an inspirational (and rockin'!) night. And if you haven't seen Fish's work, check out his website for a peak into his head.
Topics will include:
• How the music he obsesses over has always inspired the work he creates
• His favorite musicians and some of his favorite artists inspired by music
• A walk through a few projects
**We will be giving away Rock Band 2, generously donated by Harmonix, on the platform of the winner's choice. We will also be giving away a Harmonix Swag Pack.**
