Illustration Alum John Kerschbaum (’88) recently sent along this email containing exciting and impressive news about his recent work:

I’m a Parson’s Illustration grad from 1988.  I thought I’d write and let you know about some recent work of mine.  I did some illustrations and a puzzle poster (jpeg attached) for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Family Map.  The poster just received an Honorable Mention in the American Association of Museums publications competition.  The map/poster is available for free at the main information desk at the Met.  It is also being turned into a jigsaw puzzle for their Christmas gift catalogue.  Also, my graphic novel Petey & Pussy, published by Fantagraphics this past November, has been nominated for a 2009 Eisner Award for best humor publication.

You can get your copy of Petey and Pussy here and absolutely stop by John’s website for more work and news.

Congrats to John on his accomplishments!
