Episode 98 of the #IllusDeptPodcast—with Professor of Art, and Faculty Director of the D.B. Dowd Modern Graphic History Library, D.B. Dowd—is now live!

D.B and Giuseppe try to define “Illustration”; debate whether it is “Art”, or not; and much more.

Tomorrow’s #fullmoon means we’re in for an extra-spooky October 31. In honor of the occasion, we offer some bewitching archival images from the D.B. Dowd Modern Graphic History Library (Ipswich witch by The Reeses; wolf by Robert Andrew Parker.) Happy #Halloween weekend, friends!

Robert Fawcett inspiration mega-post!

To relax and zone out a bit tonight, I put on some R&B and cleaned up a bunch of the Robert Fawcett tearsheets from Walt Reed's collection: https://t.co/UkMLZaJXUQ

Enjoy and be inspired :)
