SVS Featured student for September

I owe a lot of my growth over the past year to the wonderful teachers and support team over at SVS (Society of Visual Storytelling). I have had a subscription to their online classes since last October and their content is top notch. If you are trying to up your illustration game I highly recommend checking them out! I was lucky enough to receive a feature on their website. My work has been added to the student gallery and they conducted a short interview with me. I'd love for you to check it out!
