This spring a new crop of cartooning students graduated from the School of Visual Arts with BFAs from the Department of Illustration & Cartooning. In this post I'm going to link to a few of these talented rookies for your approval and edification. Editors, art directors, agents, and Hollywood moguls take note!!
Note that this is not a definitive best-of, just a few links to artists that I particularly like and who for the most part were students of mine at some point (also a few interns, which makes them extra-awesome).
