I KNOW JOE KIMPEL AND THE CENTER FOR CARTOON STUDIES
TEAM UP FOR HOLIDAY EBAY AUCTION

We're having a holiday auction here at I Know Joe Kimpel, selling a
bunch of Center for Cartoon Studies posters. James Sturm gave us a
group of exclusive items to sell, including a Seth-signed uncut
brochure sheet and an Ivan Brunetti-designed CCS Diploma, as well as
two CCS event posters. As with everything from IKJK, the proceeds
will go to help CCS students and alums with things like convention
costs.

Pics of the posters are hosted on our Media Page at
iknowjoekimpel.com/Media.php.
The eBay auction is at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160187693813

The package contains 4 items:

Signed by Seth, An uncut sheet from the 1st CCS brochure. Seth designed and drew this large 2-sided sheet, and we have it uncut, straight from the printers. It's 2-sided, full color, and has the original CCS brochure along with various postcards, bookmarks, etc, all included. It's big, 25 x 38, but this is an item that's hard to get a hold of and certainly would make any Seth fan a very happy person during these holidays.

Blank Diploma: This Ivan Brunetti design graced the diplomas handed out to the first-ever graduating class from the Center for Cartoon Studies. This copy is minus all the official "you graduated" writing, of course. This multi-color 11 x 17 screen-print is simple yet bold in design and exclusive to CCS. Writing your own name in at the bottom is not allowed.


Holiday Sale Poster: A copy of Ken Dahl's (Monsters) winter poster that he screen-printed for 2006's CCS holiday extravaganza. Shades of blue make this an elegant winter wonderland, infused with Ken Dahl's own unique perspective on life. 22 x 15.

Sammy/Anders/Kevin Poster: Sammy Harkham, Anders Nilsen, and Kevin Huizenga made CCS their 2nd stop on their joint book tour in February of '06. White and red screened onto green paper creates this visually stunning poster, and includes artwork from all three of this group of amazing young cartoonists. Stands out at a uniquely sized 11.25 x 23.25.
