The David Bullock Return of the CD Grads 2011

Thursday, October 20, 2011
1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Alumni Auditorium
McFarland Student Union Building

Each year the Communication Design Department hosts two of our distinguished graduates to come back to KU and speak about their careers.

This year's Return of the CD Grads 2011 is going to be GREAT!

You have folks have asked for illustrator's and this year we've got 'em!!!!!! Illustrators, Kevin Cornell and Matt Twombly will be speaking about their careers, Thursday October 20 from 1 until 3 in the Alumni Auditorium in the SUB.

Kevin Cornell spends his days designing and illustrating from his tiny apartment in Philadelphia, PA. His most notable contribution to the world has been not pursuing a cooking career. Other less important contributions include the running of the websites www.bearskinrug.co.uk, www.thesuperest.com, and www.birthdaystreet.com. He has also illustrated various books, including The Superest, The Trouble With Chickens, and recently, MUSTACHE! Some say his ghost still haunts these halls. Though most contend that it's actually just a really filthy bedsheet.

Kevin's latest book Six-Penny Anthem Volume II is available through his web-site at Beraskinrug.com

Illustrator/designer, Matt Twombly graduated Kutztown in December 2008, concentrating in illustration and graphic design. Recipient of the Don Breter Memorial Outstanding Senior Illustration award, he also interned at Marvel Comics while at Kutztown. He currently lives in Washington D.C., working as a designer and illustrator for Science magazine by day, and creating comics by night.
