Student guides
I have put together some mini textbooks with information developed over twelve years of teaching. In these guides, I distill my class lectures, field trips and class discussions into a short handbook. You may download these and use them in your studies. Students in my classes can find some of their readings and resources on this page once moodle access has ended.
Professional practices for illustrators
How does a person become a professional illustrator? And how does a person overcome unprofessional habits, like procrastination? In this guidebook, which comes with a worksheet, I outline how to manage goal setting, process, anxiety and imposter syndrome and other barriers as well as how to develop a professional practice that brings you satisfaction and joy.
