Illustration Concentration was what we called the Illustration track in Communication Design at Kutztown University of PA. In 2020, the Illustration Concentration was eliminated. Today K.U. no longer has an illustration program, but there are still illustration classes offered. The Communication Design Dept. has merged with Fine Arts to become the new Department of Art and Design.
I retired from the university, but will still update the illustration concentration blog. The blog has had over 250,000 views, – a quarter of a million visits, since 2014. I have always paid for the website. There are over 300 posts about various aspects of illustration, so I will keep the site up for now. Unless otherwise noted, all entries are by me, Kevin McCloskey.
Info about me, my books and school visits are on my personal website, heymccloskey.com
Book Reviews: Occasionally, I review books. Some books are provided by the publishers; others I buy. I try not to let free books influence reviews, but to review only titles I find worthwhile.
