Seven alumni who studied Photography, Fine Arts and Media Studies teamed up to present Fringed: a fashionably fine art exhibition in Columbus.

Held at Fringe Outfitters, the event included art especially selected for the space and fashions from the boutique clothing store, as well as a silent auction, music, and raffle prizes.

Illustration alumnus Damian Ward (CCAD 1999) landed the latest children’s story written by Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow, co-authors of Hollywood films Money Talks, Cheaper by the Dozen, Garfield, Garfield 2, and Toy Story—for which they received an Academy Award nomination.

Captain Cur & Wonder Flea tells the story of downtrodden dog and his new pal Wonderflea and their adventures through Brooklyn. By the end of the journey, the dog renames himself Captain Cur.

Illustration alumnus Scott Musgrove (CCAD 1989) isn't waiting for his next gallery show to exhibit his new work. The fine artist recently brought his work to the web, nearly selling out within the first three weeks.

"Since my next gallery show isn’t until 2012 in Rome, I figured this is a good time to put together a small online show,” said Musgrove (CCAD 1989). “Available are affordable pieces including watercolors, field drawings, and mixed media.”

Illustration alumna Elizabeth (Betsy) Weissbrod (CCAD 2004) was one of the featured artists in the June 2011 Hopkins Medicine Magazine article, “Illustrators of the Century.” The article covers the department of art as applied tomedicine's centennial celebration.

Illustration alumna Michele Householder Funk (CCAD 1978) has released her children’s book, The Adventures of Pete and Max and the Lost Sock, via Author House.

The Adventures of Pete and Max tells the tale of a boy, Pete, and his faithful dog, Max, who support each other on a journey from inside the house, to around the neighborhood in their search for the missing sock.

Illustration alumnus Paul Tepper (CCAD 2001) was recently featured on the cover of Columbus Alive! to promote his selection as one of 10 emerging artists in the 2011 Columbus Arts Festival.

Alumnus Jerry W. McDaniel opened the doors to his new gallery in February.

Alumna Lora Innes has been asked to create a graphic novel for HBO's new miniseries.

Media Studies alumna Lora Innes (CCAD 2002) will create a graphic novel to follow the new HBO miniseries, To Appomattox, which is currently in production.

To Appomattox is an eight-part TV miniseries about the Civil War, starring Michael C. Hall, William Petersen, Paul Giamatti, Bill Paxton, and Noah Wyle. It will air in 2013 to coincide with the 150^th anniversary of the Civil War.
