BIG NEWS! Plus animated Hank Williams, Susan’s going to NYC, and more!

We love photographing our artists’ illustrated products as they come in. Hope you enjoy them!

Plus, our big news is…we have taken on a new artist! I scooped her up from seeing her work in my MATS courses over the years. Her work has a fresh look and was often was selected to be in my MATS reviews. We’re getting her up on the site, and once that’s done, we’ll announce who she is.

ART DIRECTORS: Agent Susan McCabe will be in NYC May 16-19 showing the new artist’s work plus our brand-new collections of available card art and our children’s book portfolio of the very best work. Be sure to contact Susan to schedule a visit. Not in NYC? We’re happy to send you a magazine-style portfolio of the card art or the children’s book art to keep for reference. Just give us a shout.

See our artists’ work for my Bootcamp course + Semester of Art School on SALE today

As you may know, I’ve loved teaching for over 40 years–at art schools, in my Studio, mentoring my artists, and for the past six years, on my site Make Art That Sells. I’m at the stage in my career where I want to help our community. I believe that growing the quality of work in our industry energizes everyone and creates prosperity for all–artists, agents, art directors, manufacturers…

So my latest passion is a four-course semester I’ve created, which begins this summer and goes through the end of the year. It’s called My Semester of Art School and it goes on sale TODAY.

(I will let you in on a secret: we are seriously looking for artists to represent from classes in MATS. Why? They are incredibly well-trained with stunning portfolio pieces geared to the top markets.)

I’d love to show you some of the gorgeous work that our very own artists have produced in MATS classes. Even though the following artists are busy with jobs, I was thrilled that they took the time to bop into class and do the assignments.

One assignment was to create a journal cover using specific florals such as lily of the valley or annual geraniums, and another assignment was about making funky salt and pepper shakers, as Anke did below:
