More courses means more inspiration and motivation, more professional level illustration assignments, more fascinating art markets to explore, more revenue streams, a more interesting career and ultimately more moola for you. That’s it. That’s the fact.

4. Home décor is BACK, baby
We’ve all spent quite a lot of time at home over the past couple of years (sigh) and done quite a lot of shopping for home goods, which means that the home décor market is huge right now. Our unique home décor course, Creating Collections for Home Décor, has launched dozens of artists’ careers since it started, and now it’s back as a LIVE course for the first time since 2016.
Check out this before and after success story! Art by Zoe Ingram for Creating Collections for Home Décor (left) and the products which actually got made with her designs (right).
You’ll get three brand new trend boards to reflect the latest trends, plus weekly LIVE reviews with art agent Lilla and brilliant creative director Margo Tantau that will show you exactly how you can create art for this incredible market and present it in a way that will wow art directors and help you sell more art.
