I hope classes are gonig well for everyone!

So here are mock-ups of the Illest of Ill '08 shirts. Right now we have 2 girl shirts (the yellow one by Francis Vallejo and the white one by Adrienne Benitez) and one guy shirt that Francis put together. We are talking to the printers now so we can't guarantee that the shirts will look exactly like these examples but we are looking to get extremely close! They are going to be printed on American Apparel (guys and girls) shirts in all sizes. All the money raised from sales, of course, goes back into the show, and if we sell in excess that money goes back into the department. So as soon as actual shirts begin printing we'll start taking pre-orders. Stay tuned for the official unveiling of the shirts.

all the best,

Hello everyone, this is the first post representing the Illest of Illustration 2008 show. This blog allows us to show and tell you a little more about the up and coming show, as well as a walk down memory lane, looking at the Illest of Ill 2007 show. Links will be added frequently with important information, as well!

This year's event is going to be much more formal than last year's Urban theme. With students dressing up, it will pay homage to the time period in which the Gibson Girl and the Arrow Collar Man hailed from. The theme for the show this year is the Gibson Girl and Leyendecker's Arrow Collar Man. We are excited to see what the students make for the show!

The three people moderating this blog are:

Neil Yarnal

Francis Vallejo and

Andy Espinoza

As an introduction here are a few photos from last year:

cheers,
