  Today I read an interesting article in the Guardian, by Emily Browne, “10 things about being an artist that art teachers don’t tell you.” From having talked to many artists, both established and aspiring, I don’t think it comes as much surprise that after art…

Illustration on your arm!

I just passed the halfway point of my class to learn how to develop apps for iOS (Apples mobile devices), and if I’ve learned anything, which I have, but primarily… I am built for drawing pictures, not programming! I am keeping up with the class,…
