The Mini Art Weekend in LA was a big success. We loved meeting everyone and loved teaching our classes. I have to say again that Making a Pattern is my favorite class to teach, so I’m always just so so happy when I get to teach it!!

Oliver happened to show up at the right moment for Nicole’s studio lighting class, so he did a little modeling. I have to say, he did a great job. If you are interested in using Oliver as a model, please contact me. His daily rate is $10K, and the looks he’s perfected go way beyond Blue Steel.

If you’re interested in participating in the Art Weekend, then you’re in luck because we’ll be doing a HUGE one in Salt Lake this summer. And it’s going to be awesome. Every time Nicole calls me to tell me about a new class we’ll be offering, I get more and MORE excited. Details to come soon. And if you’re interested in taking one of our classes but you’re not in the area, consider our online classes, which are also awesome! Currently, Nicole is teaching Photo 101, Mike is teaching Photoshop 101, and I’m teaching Illustrator 101.

UPDATE:
