I have been a free-lance illustrator since 1980. I combine traditional and digital media. My clients have included:
* MAD Magazine
* Hanna Barbera
* Warner Brothers
* Dark Horse Comics
* Ingram Micro
* Allergan
* Epic Brand Group
* dGWB
* Lawrence, Mayo & Ponder Advertising
* Chiat Day Mojo
* And many others
I've taught part-time at
Fullerton
College
for twenty-one years (1984-2005) with an emphasis on classic drawing and illustration. My classes have included:
* Anatomy for Artists (13 semesters)
* Perspective & Rendering (5 semesters)
* Drawing from the Masters (15 semesters)
* Illustration (9 semesters)
In 1996, Don Lagerberg hired me to teach at
California
State
University
Fullerton
. My classes at CSUF have been:
* Life Drawing (7 semesters)
* Animal Drawing (7 semesters)
* Sequential Art (9 semesters)
Since 1997 I've taught various classes for the Laguna College of Art and Design, including Watercolor, Artistic Anatomy, Visual Thinking and Comic Book Illustration. I also teach seminars at LA Academy of Figurative Art.
In Spring 2003, Fullerton College invited me as Artist-In-Residence. In March 2005 I hosted the week with Justin Sweet as Fullerton College's Artist-In-Residence.
I love learning and working in classrooms with students who love the subject. My current specialty is storytelling with pictures, which I am teaching as Sequential Art at Laguna College and CSUF. I have also taught in the art departments of Interplay Corporation, Troika Games, Ingram Micro, and a large, famous entertainment empire in Anaheim that had me sign an agreement not to use their name to promote my teaching. But it went well.
I periodically rent rooms and teach subjects according to student interest. They are not for college credit, but they cost a fraction of the university curriculum courses. I gear them toward professionals, though many beginners take them and thrive. If you want to be on my mailing list for such courses, e-mail me.
