I love the IMC so much!!! A week of wallowing in fantastic fantasy art!

Illustration Master Class IMC Website
They always sell out right away, so don't hesitate.
A core group of top-notch teachers working in traditional, digital, comics, gallery, children's book illustration: Rebecca Guay, Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Donato Giancola, Dan DosSantos, Greg Manchess, Scott M. Fischer. Often with Iain McCaig and James Gurney. With a main Guest Instructor, and many dropping by to give talks and lectures.
IMC 2013 had Mike Mignola as Guest Instructor (although he had to leave a few days early).
A list of assignments to pick from to work on during the week (held in Amherst, MA, in June), is given out beforehand. We bring materials/supplies/computers to work on. Live and eat together.
Around 100 students.
