SUMMER ILLUSTRATION WORKSHOP IN VENICE IS ANNOUNCED

I try to be better at updating the news page, and a close to a month passed by! I am terribly sorry… I promise I will update more once I come back from a short vacation. But here are some news brief.

I will write more about this when I come back from my vacation, but, I am teaching a workshop in Venice, Italy again this summer. This course is limited to very small number of students to have better one on one communication throughout the six day intensive course.

Please read the details and download application form at organizer Teatrio’s site.
