Young Alumni Lecture Series
Friday, March 27, 2009, 6–8p.m.
Affinity Commons Room
The faculty and students of the Department of Art & Design would like to invite recent graduates back to campus for our annual “Young Alumni Lecture Series.” Alumni are encouraged to share with current students your professional challenges and successes since graduation. Alumni testimonies can include what it is like:
• to send resumés and cover letters,
• to have a portfolio reviewed in hopes of getting a job,
• and your perspective of the current job market.
Students will be able to engage in an open dialogue with you, the young alumni, about the importance of specific classes and how the students might best position themselves for employment or graduate school.
If you would like to participate, please let us know by Monday, March 23. Alumni may contact the department at art@onu.edu.
See other photos from this year's Lecture Series! Presenters were Toma G. Williams (BFA 1996) and Heather Ann Gaghan (BFA 2005).
Homecoming Exhibit and Lecture Series
Kyle Hotz (BFA ’93), graphic novel illustrator
Friday, October 17, 2008, 3–5p.m.
Wilson Art Center 115, Stambaugh Studio Theatre Gallery
Kyle has worked as an illustrator and writer of comic books since 1991. His work has appeared in a series published by Marvel Comics (Periscope Studios), DC Comics, Image Comics and Dark Horse Comics. He has completed work on Marvel’s Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man: The Osborn Journal, The Man-Thing and The Hood under Marvel’s MAX Comics imprint. Often referred to as the “master of macabre,” Kyle created Mosaic in 1999 under Sirius, his first written and illustrated graphic novel. Other horror titles Kyle has worked on include Ghost Ride, Zombie, Criminal Macabre and Evil Ernie. In 2007 at DC, his work won a Young Adult Library Services Association Award (Great Graphic Novels for Teens) for Bill the Kid’s Old Timey Oddities.
Novelist and screenwriter Philip Nutman says of Kyle’s work, “Like the cinematographers of Hollywood’s golden age, Hotz knows how to paint with light and shade, creating a chiaroscuro world worthy of Caravaggio. Add to this his eye for twisted detail and an ability to make the everyday appear strange and/or menacing. Well, I don’t think either Bosch or Goya would be disappointed… Alongside Kelley Jones, [Kyle] is unquestionably one of the finest artists of the macabre working in comics today."
