    Kansas seminar was an amazing experience. Truly a priceless event, and I feel very lucky to have been a part of it. Thank you so much Mike for taking time out of your life to teach us something, and I hope to make those teachings a part of my life.

    Regards,

    Marcel Uttech

    Thanks Mike.  Natalie is doing great.  She is a very very good artist now.  Best in her familiy by far!  Check out her Facebook page. She is graduating from K-State majoring in Drawing.  Her specialty is faces & the human form.

    I recently directed a young artist your way.  Joel Milford from Fowler, KS.  He draws animal life and is very talented for his age.  I hope you and your family are doing well.  Enjoy the Chinese New Year !

     

    Your friend,

    Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom and energy with us last week in Kansas, Mike. I learned a ton, and can't wait to improve on my first few renderings. Cheers to you!

  • Brian

    Been a long time my friend. Just logged in to say hello. Hope all is well with you and your family. Please tell your first wife I said hello to her too. :-) Peace.

    Thanks for good wishes, I'll post another great shot from a recent photo trip.

  • Carolyn Moor

    Thanks Mike- you know if I need ANY help with Mr. Copperfield, you are the FIRST person I will call to step up. I hope to travel to Vegas once my project is complete and see you both!

    I appreciate your kind words and yes, my decision to attend your workshop Jan 1990 was the ultimate decision of my life because of meeting Chad, becoming his wife, continuing his good work after his death and the FULL life I lead today. I thought I was coming for some up level on my graphics skill and a little Mike abuse but instead MY WHOLE LIFE SHIFTED! 

    I owe so much to you for 'showing up' and teaching us to live and be loose!

    Thanks for the birthday greeting. Another year flies by and I realize every year as I get older just how peciuos life is and how important to enjoy every minute and be the best you can be. It's also time again to attend your workshop for a little attitude adjustment.

  • Josh Kelley

    Great Website Mike!

    I was a TA for you many years ago and loved it.

    About five years ago you gave me a job reference, I have been teaching art at South Fort Myers High School ever since. I love teaching art. I have been teaching sculpture for the last two years and its a blast.

    Anyway, I'm glad to keep in touch and cant thank that funny little Taiwanese guy from Kansas enough for changing my life.

     

  • Ken Nentwig

    Thanks for the birthday wishes - do we get a chance to wish you the same sometime?  Who knows when (or if) your big day is?  Do you still celebrate?  Are you actually getting any older?  Doesn't seem so.......

    Heard you had a fellow Canadian in your class in Vegas, we worked together previously here, I know he will benefit from the workshop.  Always appreciate the periodic blurbs and updates and processes shared by you and Brian, keep up the good work!

  • Bryant Cayson

    Thank You for the feedback, I am learning the interior design rendering and want to get better at the process. I am glad to join the Beloose site. I am currently an Interior design student at Florida State. I am very interested in hand rendering and want to become more proficient. I ordered your book on rendering techniques and can't wait to get it. Thanks, Bryant

    Thanks for the welcoming to the BeLoose page. Being a graduate of the K-State Design program I was excited to see that you started this there. I am planning on attending a workshop because my true love is hand drawing/rendering. The work you guys do is amazing and I can't wait to attend.

    hello mike, I was wondering what were the names of the successful Architectural illustrators that you told us about during the workshop? One was a color pencil guy and another a watercolor person, I believe they were out of Nor Cal. Thanks.
