IFFF Premieres the 2011 Poster Art


Out of the "Art" studio and fresh onto the webpage, IFFF debuts its newest theme-inspired 2011 Poster Art, "Family Films Are Evergreen."

Art Baez, the same illustrator responsible for envisioning the IFFF's 2007 Poster theme, "IFFF Goes To Hollywood," was a natural talent to turn to for this year's time-honored message.

"I've had the wonderful pleasure of working with Art on several projects now, and each time he delivers surprise and a sense of cleverness to everything he does. Beyond being a true professional, it's also a huge plus that he's a thoroughly enjoyable person and parent to work with. He feels a special affinity towards our festival's family spirit," Festival Founder Chris Shoemaker said. "He delivers a clear message on all aspects of the theme."

After he earned his BA in Fine Arts from the Otis College of Art & Design, Art continued immersing himself in the ‘Santa-world’ of toys. His early professional career was spent designing toys for such well-known brands as SpongeBob SquarePants™, The Simpsons™, Powerpuff Girls™, Dora the Explorer™, and Fairly OddParents™.

Art has continued his influence in the toy world as lead designer for Promotional Partners Worldwide (PPW) where he played an instrumental role in bringing their first retail toy to market. PPW’s retail line now includes an assortment of puzzles, games, retro toys, and collectible and concession items.

IFFF is proud to present yet another Baez creation at its yet to unspool 2011 fest. Thanks Art!
