Due to a serious and unforeseen family medical situation, we are saddened to announce that our Guest of Honor Peter Emmerich will no longer be able to join us for ISCAcon33. We want to extend our gratitude to Peter for his time and efforts thus far, including our wonderful interview with him that can be viewed by Professional Members on the Exaggerated Features blog. We are sending Peter and his family our warmest thoughts and healing energy during this difficult time.

In light of this news, we are pleased to announce an esteemed speaker to fill Peter’s place: John T Quinn. Born and raised halfway between Bruce Springsteen and John Bonjovi in the great state of New Jersey, John T Quinn dreamed of working for the Walt Disney Company. He studied Illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York where he specialized in caricature. After some years working as a freelance editorial illustrator and as a drawing instructor and even a short stint working in the animation industry, in 1996 John was recruited to work as a Character Artist for Disney Consumer Products. John has been drawing Disney characters and designing Disney product for nearly 30 years. He currently leads the 3D Team for DCP's Global Creative Organization. Follow John on Instagram: @jtq3

We are so glad that John is able to join us in Kissimmee on such short notice. We thank you all for your patience and flexibility as we navigate through the unexpected things that life throws at us and look forward to seeing you in just under 3 weeks!
