Today I was honored to be the “Visiting Artist” to the Illustration department at Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design. It was a blast spending time with this group of very passionate and talented students and we talked about web design and marketing for illustrators. They best part was that I feel like I connected with each one on a different level as I did my best to open their eyes up to some new possibilities in web design. I know if they use some of my advice they can position themselves in the online world in order to benefit their art careers and stand heads and shoulders above their competition. I truly hope they will keep in touch.
