michael jackson russian dolls

I Created this for a licensed deal, so in time they will be making this russian doll set. It was a lot of fun to do. I work on many properties for other people that don't always go anywhere and get shelved, so it is nice to create properties that get made and have ownership in. This is the beauty of licensing, I encourage every artist to look into it.

Back to School sale is happening from today until tomorrow (Sunday) for $100 off of Self-Taught classes on Schoolism.com. This will be the last time that Schoolism will have a $100 discount.

How does "Self-Taught Classes" work? Self-Taught classes run for 100 days. Because Self-Taught is entirely independent study, upon purchase you will be able to start your class whenever you wish and ALL of the lectures will be available to you from day one. You can watch the lectures and the response videos to other students' work but you will have no feedback from the instructor. However, you will have the freedom to do the assignments in whatever order you'd like, and if you choose to submit assignments, your instructor will grade them but not provide a response video or written comments. If you hand in all of the assignments before the end of the class, you will still receive a final grade and a certificate of completion but you will obviously have no response videos to download and keep.
