Illustration Concentration is what we call the illustration track of the BFA in Communication Design at Kutztown University of PA. We will talk about illustration at K.U. and beyond. All illustrators, students, and interested readers are invited to participate. We try to update weekly, on Thursdays. We have had over 65,000 visitors in the past two years.

Unless otherwise noted, blog entries are by Prof. Kevin McCloskey, who teaches illustration and the history of graphic design at Kutztown. Bio, contact info, and office hours can be found here.  We hope these pages will lift the profile of Kutztown’s illustration program.

Ads: You may see advertisements on these pages. We neither endorse nor profit from these ads; they are WordPress’s sponsors. We have been offered payment to insert advertisements from student loan consolidators, but have declined these offers.

Book Reviews:  Occasionally, we review books. Some books are provided by the publishers; others we buy. We try not to let free books influence reviews, but rather to review only those titles we find worthwhile. Publishers of graphic novels and illustration-related books are welcome to send review copies. We promise they will not be resold.
