Artist types and entusiasts:
From June 16-22 Julie Bell, Boris Vallejo, Donato Giancola, Scott Fischer, Rebecca Guay and Dan Dos Santos will be teaching the Illustration Master Class at the Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. It'll be an intense workshop for artists of every skill level focused primarily on techniques for illustration. Tuition is $1700, including room and board (there will be vegetarian options for dining). I want to go and I'm hoping to save up enough; why don't you go, too? Unlike Art Out Loud at the Society of Illlustrators, the overhead for this is pretty big so the more people that sign up, the more likely it'll be a great experience.
One on one time with some of the best illustrators in the field. It won't be like a convention where you get half a second to talk or ask questions after a demo; these will be REAL classes with individual attention. Eh? Eh? How about it?
Only if I could...
This would be a good time to rob a bank out of state. Just enough time to lay low before figuring out how to get the cash into a checking account.
Only a suggestion, of course.
Dammit! If only I had more cash. Time to knock over an armored car.
More artistic skill would probably be good thing too.
