One of my greatest joys as an agent is being able to mentor my artists and also share that knowledge with our community at large on my course platform,
Make Art That Sells (MATS), now in its 9th year.
All (except one) of the artists that we’ve taken on over the past several were discovered in my MATS classes. Why? Because I’d gotten to know them and witness their evolving brilliance. Plus they understand and have created the kind of work that is perfect for our clients.
Scroll down to see the work that my own artists have created in my classes (even after being represented by me), and you’ll get why I love teaching.
First, jump on our sale that begins today.

Yup, you read that right. We’ve taken on two new artists!
It’s like an artist shopping spree around here. When I teach over at
Make Art That Sells, I have the enviable job of watching students grow into incredible artists, and there are always many I swoon over.
We just couldn’t resist these two stellar artists, who consistently wowed me with their class assignments. You’ll see below how brilliant their kid book work is.
I bet you’re not even reading this and just scrolling down to see who we’ve picked, and I don’t blame you for a minute! 🤣

We’re delighted to welcome Maria Gabriela Gama to our group! Her vibrant work depicts charming characters in magical, imaginative scenes. We find that strong colors often do well for artists and when you pair that with detailed environments, you’ve got a winning combination. She’s a gem and you’ll love working with her.

São Paulo, Brazil
“I’m a Brazilian illustrator who loves everything colorful.”
What illustration job would you love to get (your dream job)?
Any job where I get to represent different cultures and people is my favorite job!
What do you listen to while you work?
It depends on my mood. I might watch someone playing games on Youtube, true crime documentaries, or I’ll be listening to upbeat music.
Washington State, USA
“I’ve lived my whole life in the Pacific Northwest region of the US. It’s beautiful and full of inspiration, especially for someone who loves to draw. Which is something I’ve been doing since I can remember. Usually, I draw cute things — but sometimes I’ll draw things that I think are cool…cutely.”

Please give a big round of applause to Brian Lambert!
These days, I primarily find artists to represent in my classes. Brian was one of those students that consistently crushed each assignment. His characteristic bold colors were complimented by his soft, painterly rendering. Plus, he’s an absolute pleasure. I know you’ll enjoy working with him.
