Meet The Students: Katherine Killeffer

Meet The Students: Katherine Killeffer

Date

By Nigel Sielegar

Each year at the start of the first semester we ask our new students to say a few words about one or more favorite projects.
Designer:** Katherine Killeffer**
I've created a wide range of editorial illustrations (35+) for Broadly, VICE Media's women focused content channel - covering everything from broken ankle fetishists, to the analysis of anatomical references in rap lyrics by a practicing OB-GYN. I love the challenge of bringing an unexpected (often borderline NSFW) topic to life with a single visual!
"Unimpressionism" is an ongoing personal project where I take famous works of art and make them roll their eyes. As a big art history fan, I wanted more ways to roll my eyes in a "classy" way during these eye-roll worthy times. You can follow along on Instagram @unimpressionism, or find and use the GIFs yourself on Giphy (and Giphy stickers on Insta Stories) with #unimpressionism. It's been a blast to see my stickers and GIFs reposted and reused across the internet, and I just launched an ongoing partnership with ArtUK, an organization promoting the art collections of museums throughout the UK, to bring their artworks to life with a bit of sass.

A set of photos depicting drawings of persons from certain cultures, some ancient Asian, some European and some African. Other pictures show modern art or personified objects.



A set of four drawings depicting: a man and a woman's head in space among the stars, an opened book held by two hands showing an erotic image, some hands working at a keyboard while some emoji icons are in a speech bubble and a woman with purple hair with some pill blisters in her hands.



A drawing depicting a smiling African American doctor with sunglasses, Rastafari wigs, a cap and a doctor suit while sitting in front of what seems a woman in labor.



A drawing of a pair of lady legs up in the air and some crutches along them.
