A decade into the 21st Century, and we continue to shape culture through pictures and stories. The 2010 graduating Illustration class of OCAD University represents the freshest talent to make its mark.
The body of work featured on this site is the result of a yearlong undergraduate thesis project, unique among illustration programs that responds to the entrepreneurial opportunities artists are currently enjoying. In addition to editorial, book and advertising media, the work of these new illustrators is informed by an interdisciplinary curriculum that offers studies in everything from printmaking and jewelry to gaming and animation, and all supported by a broad foundation of liberal arts. Their scope is wide, and as a result, their solutions are not only highly communicative, but original, forward-thinking and personal. In fact, at the time of this writing, many have already earned industry recognition by the most prestigious international competitions, such as American Illustration, 3×3, Creative Quarterly and CMYK.
As the Chair of this program, working with a faculty that includes the best practicing illustrators today, I am delighted to present these new visual communicators, storytellers, and artists, but I will leave it up to them to formally introduce themselves in the pages, walls and screens around you.
