As well as being a warm and innovative teacher, Make Art That Sells co-founder and teacher Lilla Rogers is also a renowned art agent. This means that she can use her in-depth knowledge of the industry to create class assignments with real world appeal – plus, because she assigns jobs to her artists every day, she also has insider knowledge of what’s hot, what’s not, and what’s selling like gangbusters. Put it all together and it’s just one reason why Make Art That Sells alumni are so successful. Want proof? We reached out to some of the artists that Lilla represents to ask them to show us some of the art which they created for Make Art That Sells that landed them jobs and representation.

UPPERCASE magazine discount In amongst everything else that’s been going on over the past few months (honestly, we’re not sure who’s writing the current season of The World™, but someone should probably check in on them), we haven’t had a chance to tell you about Lilla’s brand-new column for UPPERCASE magazine! And to celebrate, we’re thrilled to share an exclusive Uppercase magazine discount – read on for details. Like many of our students, we here at MATS HQ absolutely love UPPERCASE, which is full of eye candy and inspiration. We were thrilled when so many of our students were featured in the magazine with art created for Assignment Bootcamp 2019, and we’re delighted about Lilla’s new column. Lilla made her debut back in Issue 45, where she deconstructs one of her favorite sayings, “people buy your joy”, and discusses how you can find your joy and tune in to it.

One of the things that makes Make Art That Sells courses unique is that they present an incredible opportunity to get your artwork directly in front of top art agent, Lilla Rogers. Lilla is always looking to take on new artists at her agency – because so many of them, especially those whose art includes illustrating children’s books, are completely booked up and she can’t give them any more commissions. And she’s especially interested in scooping up artists from Make Art That Sells courses. Why? Lilla says it’s because Make Art That Sells students are so well trained! Her courses help you to make art in a way that will appeal to agents and art directors, so you can get the work you deserve and build a lucrative creative career. Plus, she also gets to see what students are like in class: are they supportive and positive in their interactions
