Guest Speakers for Advanced Strategies in Illustration
THURSDAY April 16th 7:30-8:30
Kit Seaton grew up on a steady diet of comic strips, 80’s cartoons, and volumes of illustrated fairy tale books. She’s bussed tables, sold computers, slung coffee, directed plays, and designed costumes before finally finding her home illustrating comic books. Kit earned her master’s in illustration from the Hartford Art School and has taught comics and illustration at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, Savannah College of Art and Design, and California State University Fullerton. She makes her home with a pup named Panya in the Inland Northwest.
Cat Seaton is a writer from the Inland Northwest. Though she sets out to write whimsy, she often ends up writing horror instead.
