General Workshop Description:

I have been creating concept and industrial designs for over 25 years and have been teaching others how to do the same for two decades. Over this time, I have developed some wonderful demonstrations and examples to help anyone better understand the underlying principles of concept design.

Armed with this new knowledge, you will quickly improve the quality of your own renderings, adding more realism and variation to your work.

Please join me in San Francisco for what will be a great day of learning and networking with other like-minded artists. Seating is limited to 30 attendees and online registration is on a first come, first served basis.
