Can you guess which VAP mentor has a birthday today?
The GOAT, Sterling Hundley from the illustration program!

If you haven't yet, we recommend his deeply insightful collection of writing on creativity and process. thinklouder.substack.com

Tis the spooky season artist fam. 🍂👻 This particular piece by Ashly Lovett actually began as a demo from one of her first guest-speaking sessions years ago with us. It goes to show how catching these guest-sessions can really give you some invaluable insights into an artist's process.

Shame, it's a really cool piece. And no! I did not!

This is very true.

Ahhh, nothing like a clean slate.

I dedicate this post to the incredible mentors and students of Visual Arts Passage. Time to spill our art into another little corner of the internet. 🔥
