I gained the position of my illustration internship by Professor Eli. I asked him during the last few weeks of class if his friend, Gideon Kendall, a professional illustrator, if I can intern for him. I met Kendall at Mocca Fest, a two day event for illustrators to come and present and sell their work during spring break. Throughout the month working with Kendall at his home office I am really enjoying everything that he is teaching me from working with the Cintiq, using Photoshop to work with pages of comics and to meet deadlines. All of the finished pages that he has provided for me to work with have been submitted before the due dates. Teamwork really does make the dream work. Not everybody can get the job done alone and it is better to have people work beside you when tough tasks come knocking on the door.
