Pardon My Dust

One of my business partners gave me a mini workshop on a course he took while studying design at the Art Center College of Design, called Dynamic Sketching. I Studied and received a BFA in studio art a long time ago, so I understand art and design, but this course was never taught where I trained. I find this course to be a must for anyone wanting to understand basics problem solving in art and design. Dynamic Sketching should be taught in every Art school.  Since it is not, Check out the links below.

Peter Han doesn't consider himself an artist. "I see myself as a designer," he says in Pardon My Dust, a microdocumentary about chalk art and its ephemeral nature. "I'm a designer that works in anything and everything that requires problem solving. And if I can draw it, if I can see it and I can understand it... I can do anything." ---ROBERT T. GONZALEZ

My workspace

Just wanted to share my office work space. I use the space when sculpting both digitally & traditionally sculpts, oil painting, etc. This space also works as a mini library for me as well.

Interesting article about art school.

Discovered through a friend, an article about not going to art school. There are a lot of art schools that need to pay attention to these articles. There are a lot of people searching for other means of training and education than spending $85K or more, to get an art degree. Why is it costing so much? A traditional art school may only cost you a fraction of the cost listed above; at least it did when I was in art school, so what has changed? Check out the article.
