ComicCON- Center of the Universe!

A lot of our alums (your predecessors) attend ComicCON in San Diego each year. It is, as I once heard a much smarter person say, the largest visual culture event in North America. No foolin'! And folks like us RULE that place!

How great is that?!

Here is a camera-hungry Shawn McCauley, on the SUPER-SECRET alumni website, showing off his activities. I'm gonna make him come talk with us this semester. Even if he says, "no."

THIS FRIDAY- AUGUST 29TH!!

Don't miss Rudy Gutierrez and DK Dyson this Friday (29th) at Convocation!! It's free (which is a lot of the same letters as "fire" but much, much better!). This is a super-cool duo and, believe me, you'll only see them together after graduation if you pay big bucks in conference fees.

Rudy G. is a great artist and a gifted educator (i.e. he knows how to put on a really good dog and pony show for your benefit). DK will blow you away, to put it mildly.

Be there!

Oh, yeah. You'll also get free lunch. It's a win-win!

Dig Our Current Students!

Ok, I know I miss out on SOME accomplishments, but sometimes I'm able to catch something and put one or two up for posterity.

"Posterity" is a big $10 word that means "forever." Only it sounds smarter. Feel free to use that.

Here is the article on Laura Byrne's book, of which we are all jealous but happy at the same time.

There will be a lot of that happy/jealous dichotomy in your life (if you're lucky) so be of good cheer and offer congrats to Laura. Laura, keep pursuing projects like this one!

Another Visiting Artist!

Want to see something interesting, fun and F R E E (yes, F R E E) this Sunday?!


Go to the Co-Op at 3 pm. Author/illustrator Anna Dewdney will be there to talk about her work. While you're there...

Stick around and attend a reception for your friend and UConn IllustratioNation alum, Bonnie Sullivan, at 4:30 pm. She's done a mural for the Co-Op's Children's Section and they're celebrating! Go. After all, you're family!

Like Graphic Novels? Let's Go to the NRM Before May 26th!

LitGraphic:
The World of the Graphic Novel
November 10, 2007 through May 26, 2008

The Norman Rockwell Museum. See the preview here:  LitGraphic Preview

Work by: Peter Kuper, Lauren Weinstein, Sue Coe, Lynd Ward, Frank Miller, R. Crumb, Matt Madden and more. Obviously, Something for everyone!

I can call to get us a group rate or a talk or something if we want to get up a trip. Ja? The NRM is only 1.5 hours of fabulous car trippin' from Storrs.

Paint The Beehive!

Hi Gang,

We have a beehive to paint. Not a hairdo, this is the real thing. As in, "apiary" (where bees will live).

It was delivered today and we (UConn Artists) need to paint it before May, when the UConn bee people will pick it up.

NOT this: click here

This.

This could be so much fun- think about how bees/beehives have been used symbolically and to what end. This is fabulous material!!
