David Mack returned for another great visit to the AAC this February.
Visiting our Junior-level Narrative Illustration course in the morning, David talked extensively about process and technique, and then did an in-progress critique of some comic pages that members of the class were working on. During the lunch hour, he spoke to the whole school about process as part of our Smart Talk series, providing an in-depth look at THE ALCHEMY, his latest Kabuki collection. As usual, David brought tons of original art for us to look at, which provides an opportunity for students to get a close-up view of his various techniques. Thanks for sharing, David. 🙂
