Hello friend!
I attended an art school and it cost me over $80,000.
It took me years to pay off that debt.
I'm the type of person that likes to look at the good and bad of my decisions.
There are some things I loved about the college, but overall I feel institutional art education is way too expensive for artists.
This is the motivation for me creating this newsletter for you all, as well all the free resources on my site and social media accounts.
Did you know it cost’s me hundreds of dollars each month to share my knowledge, so you can get it for free?
Many people have showed their appreciation, and I am grateful for that.
