ROTLAND DREADFULS NO. 2 BY STEPHEN WILLIAM SCHUDLICH
The ROTLAND DREADFULS series is an homage to the cheaply-produced 19th century English pamphlets known as "Penny Dreadfuls"— so named because the original cost was one penny and they contained stories considered shocking and sensational. The second issue in this series concerns "a small illustrated rogues gallery depicting some of the people populating the community known as The Pointes, whose residents include trust fund leeches, estranged, substance addicted offspring, and lecherous sailors.”
A fourth generation Detroiter, illustrator, designer, framer, educator, writer, and social zoologist, Stephen William Schudlich has provided work for clients such as The New York Times, The Utne Reader, Comedy Central, The Chicago Tribune, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, and Scholastic. He has also worked with WGBH (Boston), Heineken, and Nike. His work has been included in The New York Art Directors Annual, Print, How, and the AIGA Design Annual.
