Illustrations going to Knoxville
I will be in Knoxville, Tennessee in mid-March for their annual Art Xtravaganza. Several original works from the children’s exhibit here at AnAuthor World will be on sale during the three day event. A percentage of the funds will benefit the artist in residence program at Webb School, a program I was privileged to participate in this past fall. It will be good to see my friends at Webb again! Hopefully I’ll return with a smaller illustration exhibit.

Digital Illustration Continues with Part 2

“Wow, just like real school! First off- thank you so much for allowing me to be your first virtual student! You are a wonderful teacher. Very patient, very detailed (for those of us who need step by step),
always available, and I so appreciate that you answered all of my questions and even emailed me when I picked your brains. I have to say-I learned ALOT!! And loved working in Illustrator. I was also trying to write it down so I can refer back. It was a great and informative class. I was quite proud of my little star guy! You make a great teacher ;0)”

Skype your way to successful writing
You now have a choice for long distance learning: Skype or DimDim
Tim has been using DimDim successfully in his class, but I haven’t had a chance yet to use it. I’m very excited about the possibilities it provides both the teacher and the student.
I have an advanced student who is living in Maryland now and wants to continue taking classes. So, last week I tried Skype and we had a successful class meeting! It was great seeing her “in person” again. The rest of the class members enjoyed hearing her comments during our discussions. I had tried Skype once before with a woman in Canada, and the problem I had with it was a weak internet connection here in Greenville. But now, that has changed! You can now DimDim or Skype!
So, if you don’t live in the Greenville area and still want to take classes from us, just let us know and we can set you up through DimDim or through Skype. It will be like sitting in the classroom with us. You’ll be able to participate in all ways, and yet stay home in your pajamas (or whatever). Heh.

DimDim Offers a Bright Future for Remote Students

Despite a few technical difficulties, we have successfully completed our first class using DimDim to provide interactive access to a remote student. Sharon Holm, from Connecticut, joined seven of us in the AnAuthor World classroom for the first session of Digital Illustration, Part 1. We had consistent audio interaction and the ability to share our screen with her. Only video streaming seemed to create a problem at times. Thankfully, that is not a necessary part of the instruction–only a way to satisfy Sharon’s curiousity about what her classmates look like!
The class will continue through January, with part 2 beginning in February. Throughout, we’ll focus on learning how to tap into the illustrating power of both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

Merry Christmas!

Pam and her 9-month-old granddaughter Aida
I pray that amid the hustle and bustle, the eating good food, the opening of presents, the family and friends and fellowship…that we all remember that Jesus is the reason for this season. He is the Christ in Christmas.
I hope your day is wonderful!
Have a very merry Christmas!



Most people make the same New Year’s resolutions over and over again. And, usually, before February even gets here, almost all (if not all) of those resolutions have been broken. There must be a better way!
Digital Illustration 2 Students’ Comments
“The assignments were good in that they built on each skill we learned in class. I feel like by the end of the class I had a sort of ‘decoder ring’ for these programs (Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator) that had been such a frustration before.” D.B.
“The intimate class size allows for interaction with the instructor as well as your classmates. We were all able to learn from each other. Tim’s teaching style is laid back and he makes learning fun.” K.K.
“Very open to questions from students. Very knowledgeable about the subject matter.” P.S.
