John took our SDSU scholarship winner under his wing and not only helped her create a booth display for the event.
He packed the equivalent of ten years of real-life experience into two months of incredible mentoring. Jessica Siemens, the scholarship winner, was privy to advice, information and perspective that professional artists acquire in a lifetime.
I was blown away by not only his delivery on such a tricky subject for artists such as blogging, Twitter and RSS but also how much he really understands about the subjects.
Every one of us walked away full of ideas and able to follow through with them without a hitch.
John understands that being a successful artist means running a successful small business. It is rare in the art world that you find an individual that is able to see both sides of this equation.
He gets it and he loves helping other artists see the opportunities that they have immediately available to them to better market and promote their work.
I want to tell you that I was wonderfully surprised by the amount of information you provided in your initial class. I also appreciated your delivery, you made it all sound so very doable and practical.
You gave me a lot more than I was expecting and answered many of my questions in a way that made sense to even me, a total blog novice.
