For Gary Baseman, making art that’s truly your own begins by exploring what makes us unique. The life experiences that shape our perspectives are a potent source of artistic inspiration. Looking back, observing, and documenting all our experiences in our sketchbook is the ideal place to start. Sketchbooks are where Gary begins his own creative process, before translating it into anything from collectible toy characters, retrospective exhibitions, and award-winning animation series like Teacher’s Pet. There doesn’t seem to be an artistic stone left unturned with Baseman. He has collaborated with fashion brands like Coach, Swatch, Dr Martens, and has been featured in countless magazines like TIME, Rolling Stone, and newspapers such as The New York Times. In this course, Gary Baseman takes you on a one-way trip to revealing your unique visual language. Use your sketchbook as a vehicle for defining your artistic identity. Delve into your travels, heritage, childhood, and more to define the experiences that express who you are as an artist. Ready for take-off?
