"I stepped up my game..."
"He gives you down-to-earth answers that we all need in this industry, whether it be animation, illustration, storyboarding, etc. And with all that advice and encouragement from Peter, I stepped up my game and eventually got eyes peering into my corner. So much though, that these past few months I got accepted into not one but two reanimated projects. 😃 So, yes!!! I highly recommend him as a professor! 👍✨️"

Let's get you back on track to professional success in the arts!
Trying to build professional skills and assembling an attention getting portfolio can be overwhelming and confusing if you’re trying to do it alone.
Aspiring artists need well-structured information, a goal, and access to expert outside opinions.
While a lot of professional artists can share their opinions, too often they often lack the day-to-day experience of helping beginners become professional artists.
It makes a difference to have someone available who both works as a professional and helps absolute beginners develop into professional artists.
I’ve been there and done that.
I’ll show you a clear path, help you set goals, so you can achieve the success you dream of!

He is the most knowledgeable and dedicated person I ever know when it comes to drawing!"
