Illustration course!


I'm delighted to announce a new illustration course that I have been invited to lecture at in Giddy Studios!
After the great success of the last courses and all the great work produced, Giddy Studios are opening their doors again to another intensive four weeks of illustration madness.

If the last course and the work that was produced is anything to go by then I cannot wait to meet our future students. It was an honour to be involved with such a talented bunch.

The course is great way to meet like-minded people and walk away with several bodies of new work.

Details for this seasons are as follows:


----------------------------

Giddy Studios are proud to announce a brand new illustration evening course with guest illustrator Chris Judge as lecturer. The courses will run for four weeks during the months of Sept / Oct 2011.

Chris Judge is one of Ireland's leading professional illustrators and will be your dedicated lecturer during the full course. The course takes place in Dundrum in the relaxed atmosphere of the very comfortable Giddy Studios, with lots of tea, coffee, Tunnock's Tea Cakes and general chat about the world of illustration.
