Saturday Night Live illustrator J.J. Sedelmaier will be screening his work in a lecture titled "J.J. Sedelmaier Productions: Hiding in Plain Sight" at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, April 16 in Room 101 of the Mattin Center.
Sedelmaier is famous not only for his work on "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" on SNL, but also for work on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, and The Colbert Report.
From Beavis and Butthead to The Bernstein Bears, Sedelmaier's work appeals to all types and demonstrates a mastery of illustration, design, and production.
Beyond the entertainment industry, Sedelmaier has designed over 500 TV commercials and marketing and advertisement artwork for corporations such as Nickelodeon, Converse and The Chicago Tribune.
He also directs his own creative development and production studio, J.J. Sedelmaier Productions Inc. (JJSP), along with his wife. This studio lends its services to coporate branding for various companies. They have worked in all aspects of business campaigning: TV, print, transit, theatrical and outdoor.
Commercial projects have also been a staple of JJSP, and this studio was built upon film production and film commercials.
JJSP has won multiple awards for their animations, especially for TV broadcast and design. They have worked on title sequences, network IDs, promos, and interstitials.
In addition to all this, Sedelmaier is a weekly contributor to Print Magazine's blog, "Imprint."
This lecture is co-sponsored by Homewood Art Workshops and Homewood Arts Programs.
This event is free and open to the public.
