Moonlighting
Artwork by Violet LemayFor the past few years I’ve been teaching night classes in the Illustration Department at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). It’s quite an amazing art school, tons of technology, very career-minded. I only teach one class per term, typically for students who are about to graduate: portfolio, self-promo; sometimes editorial illustration. It’s been a lot of fun, and surprisingly has helped me as an illustrator. Having to face those young faces every week, I’ve spent much more time researching other illustrators, industry sites, etc. in an effort to be as informed as possible. Having a reason to get out of the studio has been beneficial as well (my husband is thrilled to see me actually style my hair and wear shoes other than sneaks). The campus is spread throughout historic down-town Savannah, extremely picturesque and inspirational. This photo shows the front door of Morris Hall, where the illustration classes meet.
