The Art School Grad's Guide To The Real World

As a freelance artist in Hollywood, I've practically done it all: storyboard artist, fashion illustrator, video game artist, concept artist, comic book artist, textile artist, t-shirt designer, silkscreen artist, gallery assistant, fashion stylist, graphic artist, magazine art director, logo designer, movie poster artist, character artist... the list goes on. And on.

However, getting started as an illustrator when I was but a mere recent art school grad was a bit of mystery. And as I became a successful professional artist, I noticed not everyone shared the same skill set when it came to snagging their dream job.

Needless to say, I've had a lot of experience in my professional art career. I decided to put it on paper and share my tips and trick for getting into the above mention industries. Ok, it's really not on "paper", it's an e-book...Save a tree. Or something.

Whether you're just getting started in an art career, or know someone who is, this little volume helps you carve out a path to professionalism and teaches what you didn't learn in art school.

How To Shoot Video That Doens't Suck

When my longtime charismatic client and talented director Steve Stockman called and asked me to "storyboard" his upcoming book, How to Shoot Video that Doesn't Suck, I was a little confused. Films and videos are storyboarded, sure. "But Steve," I babbled back "books are illustrated."

This point demonstrates why Steve is often ahead of us all as a creative. I was thinking in the box. He was thinking in "the frame". And he needed my help to get readers to think in frame, shot by shot as well.

And thus, I was brought aboard by Steve and Workman Publishing to take his "Advice to Make Any Amateur Look Like a Pro" and translate his thoughts into images in this awesome book.
