Creating comics and cartoons is something I have done since childhood. I have used this interest and talent for fun, and for work. For example, I had the privilege to work with an advertising company that hired Disney-ready artists to create their signature-style cartoon maps! So if you would like your child to have a teacher who can explore both the creative side and the business side of cartooning and comics in a way that is both intriguing and fun, then I'm that instructor!Reviews
