I am a teacher of classic drawing, painting, storytelling and pictorial arts.
I've taught part-time at Fullerton College for 23 years (1984-2007).
My classes have included:
Anatomy for Artists (13 semesters)
Perspective & Rendering (5 semesters)
Drawing from the Masters (15 semesters)

In 1996, Don Lagerberg hired me to teach at California State University Fullerton.
My classes at CSUF have been:
Life Drawing (7 semesters)

Sequential Art (14 semesters)
Since 1997 I've taught various classes for the Laguna College of Art and Design, including:
Animal Drawing
Watercolor
Artistic Anatomy
Visual Thinking
Comic Book Illustration
Children's Book Illustration
Sequential Art
Directing for Animation (co-taught with Aubry Mintz)
Fullerton College invited me as Artist-In-Residence in Spring 2003.
I made my living as an illustrator for about twenty years, and learned how to draw by teaching classic draftsmanship in colleges. I love learning and working in classrooms when the students love the subject.
Since 1999, I have taught Sequential Art for a total of 29 semester sessions at LCAD and CSUF.
Now I do seminars and itinerant teaching all over Southern California. I regularly teach my Composition For Artists seminar at the LA Academy of Figurative Art. I've also taught Composition and Anatomy in the following corporate art departments:
Interplay Corporation
Insomniac Games
Rockstar Games
Blizzard Entertainment
A large, famous entertainment empire in Anaheim that had me sign an agreement not to use their name to promote my teaching. But it went well.
I am an illustrator combining traditional and digital media.
I graduated from Fullerton College in 1979 with honors and a 3.975 GPA.
I have been a free-lance illustrator since 1980.
