SCAD Hong Kong

I just accepted a professorship with Savannah College of Art and Design Hong Kong campus. I will be working with foundations and illustration students and start this September. I am very excited about the opportunities and adventures that await me there.

My time working with the illustration and animation programs at Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University has been very inspirational for me. The students and faculty have been very supportive in my efforts in and outside of the classroom and I've been very grateful to them for this. Both schools have many strong positives and should be serious considerations for any student of the arts. I hope to be able to benefit the new students that I will be working with there.

As a note, with time the content of this blog will be adjusted to reflect the school and my activities with education there. If there is content that you would like to have for yourself, please feel free to download, convert to pdf or otherwise preserve the information you want to have.
