Entertainment Art and Design Classes

In this five-week introductory course, creatives will be introduced to comic book scripts, sketching thumbnails, finding reference, refined page layout, traditional tools and methods, modern tools and methods, and how to tell a story using panels. This is a highly recommended class for those wishing to take our upcoming Comic Book Penciling course later this year. Classes run on Sundays from May 19 to June 15.

Sad news reached me that my friend Elena Chin has gone on to whatever comes next. She was probably my biggest supporter when I opened up the Denver Entertainment Art and Design Academy back in 2012 and took a lot of the FX makeup classes and came down to hang out on First Fridays on the Santa Fe Art Walk and get zombified, painted, or to do her own zombie makeup on visitors. I searched my phone and FB for pictures of her without the FX or paint, but I can't find any. I'm sure I have some in my photo archives on a hard drive, but she loved doing and supporting practical FX, so I'm going with it. Last time I saw her in person was when we went to the Guillermo del Toro art gallery in L.A. a few years back (I know I have pictures of that somewhere...). I don't have any specific details so I can't say much more than "she's gone."
