The quality of the teaching here exceeds anything I experienced in my MFA program. This program has made me feel motivated, energized and in love with the business of illustration.
"I had an artwork accepted into the 64th Society of Illustrators annual and started receiving paying job opportunities from real-world clients."
"Dale's class pushed my technique and process. I produced my first digital fantasy painting that I would include in my professional portfolio."
"Dale Stephanos and John English gave me the clarity I needed in moving forward in illustration. I met so many talented individuals during the class that I continue to share my art with."
"The class helped me start to really focus on what I want to do as an artist and how I want to do it. Dale's insight on the craft and the business make for a unique experience."
"I owe all my advancement and improvements in my work to John and to Dale. I have never once felt shoehorned or forced into a box by my instructors."
"I was given very valuable insights on what makes an effective portfolio. The critiques and direction helped me out in the process of making a portfolio that I could be happy with."
