I was fortunate enough to attend the Illustration Master Class this year, and have my work critiqued by some brilliant artists, as well as work alongside many other talented (sorry Greg) students. It was an extremely intimidating, humbling, exhausting, and exciting week, and I'd gladly do it all over again. I'm anxious to apply the reinvigorated drive to work and beyond.
Here is the piece I did during the week. It's based on the John Scalzi novel "Old Man's War" about some senior citizens who have the opportunity to transfer their consciousness into a young, genetically enhanced clone in exchange for a few years of serving in a space army fighting aliens out on distant planets.
