Journal of Illustration 10.1 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that Journal of Illustration 10.1 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘Transitus: Illustration as Material Crossing Ground’

Taking its inspiration from the ‘Transitus’ theme of the 12th Annual Illustration Research Symposium, hosted online 14–15 July 2022 by Falmouth University, United Kingdom, this issue considers material expressions of what might be understood as the performative prefix ‘trans-’. Each of the essays introduced here responds to an understanding of the crossing ground we are naming ‘Transitus’ as one which is invested in retaining a physical connection or trace in its referential, illustrative function.
