Do you NEED to devote yourself for a year to your art, but haven't had the chance?
You’re not alone.
Going at it alone is hard.
Going at it with the wrong tools, in the wrong place is hard.
Justine Mara Andersen, our star drawing teacher, had her mentors tell her she wasn't good enough, and she should go back to college. Determined to show them otherwise, she studied and studied and became a master, eventually working with DC Comics, Lucasfilm, Wizards of the Coast and much much more.
Our founder Tom Hart quit college to forge his own path with a cohort of like-minded artists in the early 90s. He has since become a New York Times #1 bestselling author. He says "SAW is the school I wished I went to."
Everyone at SAW has at one time or another had to struggle with the same questions and dilemmas, and we’ve all found answers.
Our faculty can share them with you through our unique blend of mentorship and comics-specific curriculum.
