248. Ringling College: Award-Winning Artists Turned Teachers

Ringling College of Art & Design has produced several Illustrators of the Future winners. This interview is with two of the reasons why.

James Martin, professor of illustration in the illustration dept. He’s been an illustrator, mostly in the movie industry, and worked on movies like Titanic.

Dominic Avant majored in illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. He worked in movie animation at Disney on many feature films including Mulan. He has been at Ringling for 17 years. I first saw Dominic in a TV interview as one of Zaine Lodhi’s (Illustrator winner) teachers.

So when attending the Tampa Comic Con, I asked if I could interview both of these gentlemen and they graciously accepted and I trust you will enjoy what they had to say as much as I did!
