Why we love it!
"When I started 25 years ago, I avoided parties, spent two weeks on a single piece, and had barely left my hometown. Today, I’ve worked events for major organizations across 20+ states, have drawn over 100,000 people, met dozens of celebrities, and I now genuinely love the social side of the work. It transformed my shyness, loosened my artistic over-perfectionism, and expanded my view of the world"
A career in visual entertainment offers an infinitely flexible schedule, keeps your creativity flowing, your people skills sharp, and brings you into new environments that present fresh, meaningful challenges that foster artistic and personal growth. It also can build a viable quick money making skill for artists to have in their wheel house.
"I have always loved the fact that once I learned how to draw caricatures, I could find work anywhere, in any possible scenario I found myself in, I could be backpacking through Europe, a busy working mom, or a retiree living in a tropical paradise, I would always have a way to make a few extra bucks quickly".
