Guest Artist Lecture- pictures

The following pictures were taken at the YMCA Summer Arts Studio Program in Fayetteville, New York on July 30, 2010. Many thanks go out to all the counselors, especially Amber Brown and Arts Studio Director Kat Kane, for extending the invitation to come and speak to the students about illustration.

The children were treated to a cross section of Joseph Murphy's artwork which showcased his earliest works as a child himself, drawing images from X-Men trading cards, through other early works and studies in high school and college, and up to his most recent work depicting architecture and children's book illustrations.

... and, yes, Joe knows he has a pretty wicked sunglasses tan.
