This is a production studio, not a course. We work in 30-day cycles and finish real projects.
Think of it like a shared studio space — where creative energy builds as people post work, talk shop, and make progress together. This is a space for illustrators who value momentum, consistency, and follow-through. And we’re algorithm-free — you post it, people see it.
This studio is paid by design — not for lessons or critique, but to create a public, structured environment where commitments matter, inspiration builds, and work actually gets finished.
I’m April Hartmann, author, illustrator, and animator with 30+ years in publishing and freelance illustration. I built this studio to be the kind of place I always wanted: heads down, creativity flowing, and real projects moving from start to finish.
Illustrators at all stages of professional development are welcome, united by a commitment to finish and release real work.
