Kenny Funk has been on the cutting edge of design since 1965, when his
Kindergarten painting was proudly displayed at the Bloomingdale's outdoor art show. Originally from Bayside, NY, Kenny attended Cardozo
High School (Class of '78), where an internship in the art department of Seventeen Magazine led to a keen interest in editorial design, layout, and typography. At
College in SUNY Binghamton, Kenny studied Art and Cinema (BA '83) and earned a campus-wide reputation with a hilarious weekly
comic strip in Pipe Dream, the school newspaper. In the 1980's, Kenny worked in art departments of many national magazines including: 1,001 Home ideas, Golf Illustrated, Spin, Circus,
OUI, and American Baby. In
1991 , Kenny started his own graphic design business, Coffee Cup Design Studio, named after a passion, the familiar blue and gold paper cup. Always happy to serve his clients, Kenny quickly established relationships with local businesses who needed quality design and printing at reasonable rates.
Today, Kenny maintains a large following of customers, who rely on him to deliver professional art to printers and publications on tight deadlines. A winner of numerous design awards, Kenny's work has been featured in Graphic Design USA and the Creativity Annual. Other interests include:
McSorley's Ale House, Fire Island, fonts, 45's, WFMU, lounge, Beatniks, Grateful Dead (170 shows) and
Phish (135 and still going!)
