All charged up about art

Started teaching a new class last night in advanced illustration. I know this blog is more about fiction shouts - but just to shout about that other side of my career, the one I have had for more than 25 years (yikes).
When asked to teach any sort of skill/art/craft, the first step is to break down and try to understand what, and why, and how, you do the things you do. This is a fascinating process - and it postively comes alive when you get to present it to a room full of (hopefully) eager students.
I felt very charged by the class last night - talking to a group of young artists, eager to further their development, and engage their passion. Should be a good time.
Not sure if I have posted this in the past - but here is a link to an interview for the Emprise Review. I talk about being an illustrator, and literature, and whether or not I have a dark side (!)
