I’m so excited to announce the second Shop Talk at Studio Technique. It’s a new division where renowned and experienced artists from the industry will come and share artistic insight, tutorials, their industry experience and offer a Q&A. It’s a great opportunity to learn from a variety of different artists, network, and gain some insight into different artistic venues. Most importantly, I hope it will be a place of artistic inspiration.
