I’m excited to announce that I’ve been accepted into a Master’s Program of Illustration at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California! I intend to finish their MFA program and hopefully complete some internships to help me further my career. It is an exciting thing to finally break free of the world of The Dayjob and have a fresh start on something new. I just completed my second day of classes, and am excited to be back in the world of academia.

This of course also gives me a bit more free time to work on artwork, which is great because I’ve got a new commission, and a possible chance at illustrating some children’s books.

I’m also in the midst of printing new business cards, and some bookmarks of my art to have a new offering in my Etsy.com store. I also think it may be time for a nice facelift for Joieart.net. New era, new design! I hope to have some new artwork very soon!
