To date I've worked 10 years primarily in video games and more recently as an art director in animation for such clients as Disney+ and Netflix.
Although today, I have what many artists consider a dream career, it did not happen overnight.
I know what it’s like to hit walls, to have no money, to feel demoralised, to feel ashamed of failure, to have no clarity, goals or reason to get up in the morning.
Now that all of that is almost a decade behind me I've made it my mission to clarify the path for other amateur artists and make their entry into into this industry as simple and obvious as possible.
I believe ANYONE can get the results I did, so much so, that I want to share with you EXACTLY how.

Can't I just be self-taught?
Of course you can... BUT. You may face sorting through the right information, work out a routine and above all, unless you're extremely disciplined, you're likely adding years to your personal studies before you see any progress towards breaking into the industry.
Why should I learn the Fundamentals first?
Learning the Fudnamentals is universally accepted as the ultimate and fastest first step towards breaking into the entertainment industry.

Of course! You may purchase your 1 year enrollment package using monthly, quarterly or once-off payment options!
