TESTIMONIALS
The course was amazing, the time with Michael priceless...He was concise, to point and willing to always give references for me to check out or methodologies that I could actually see and experience rather than just ideas that I couldn't grasp.
Thank you so much for the ease that this program was, and the lengths that everyone was willing to go to when I had an issue that needed to be looked at. I felt comfortable and able to communicate throughout the course and it made the experience exceptional. Thank you!

Mike is an excellent teacher. I feel that I have filled a lot of gaps in my Zbrush knowledge. Mike's feedback was exactly what I wanted: straightforward, practical information and techniques regarding sculpting. Seeing him draw over my sculpts I found the most helpful. I really appreciated little tips of which I wasn't aware...

Michael is a fantastic sculptor, artist and instructor. He translates his traditional sculpting experience to Zbrush in a perfect synergy of artistry and technical prowess.
