What won’t a top art agent and born educator do to motivate her students? As I write this, I’m listing to Lizzo’s hit song Good as Hell and harking back to our most recent Editorial LIVE: Illustrating for Magazines and More course, when we had an absolute blast, we got to hear art agent Lilla sing to us that she just took a DNA test and turns out she’s 100% that bitch, and our incredible students made some truly incredible art.

The Editorial LIVE 2020 course will have a whole new text and a whole new vibe. Why? Because you’ll get more work and have a more interesting and lucrative illustration career if you can show a range of tone and mood in your portfolio. That’s why it’s definitely worth taking this course even if you’ve taken it before – because a potential client needs to see several strong pieces of art in your portfolio before they can trust you with a gig!

It’s an incredibly fun way to make art (in October, students got to see Lilla sing – what will she do this time? Will she dye her hair purple in homage to Megan Rapinoe for an article on women’s football, or go completely nutty for a piece on alternative milks? There’s only one way to find out!). Plus, being surrounded by hundreds of artists at every level all working on the same assignment will push you to bring do better and better. Ready to up your illustration game? Book your spot now!

Our last Editorial LIVE course was subtitled The Popular Culture Edit, and for their final assignment students were charged with illustrating the lyrics to “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo. What a ride! And just look at the incredible work that came out of class. Imagine having something like this in your own portfolio (in fact, one student, Maria Ingram, picked up her first editorial job just from sharing her rough draft on Instagram)!
Five clues!
What will the final assignment be this time? Here’s what we know so far, fellow detectives:
- It’s called The Artivism Edit
- The warm up exercise is all about OPTIMISM (get your FREE copy here)
- It’s all about effecting positive change
- We know it will be bang on trend because Lilla sees what’s being assigned to her artists right now
- It’s something that will bring out the best in every student, whatever level they’re at, and be a powerful addition to your portfolio
Any ideas? Head over to our Instagram account and have a guess and you could win a Lilla Rogers Studio tote full of greetings cards by Lilla’s artists!
