get better, including myself.

Wow, I’m really glad you asked that. Yes, it’s no secret that airbrushing is my strength. I use it every day. I still feel like I have

lots to learn about airbrushing, but I’m slowly putting it down to

any airbrushed pieces.<br>

I would love to say that I have a master’s degree from some

esteemed art school, but my art training comes from humble

drawing. That’s something they don’t teach in art school.

I learn any way that I can...the world is a classroom. There is so much stuff available online that you can learn from that wasn’t there 10 years ago. I feel anyone driven enough or determined enough can make giant strides in their artistic growth. This organization has such an incredible wealth of artists willing to share their techniques and abilities that it’s almost hard not to pick up something just by visiting the forum or even better, attending a convention. I still however, seek out workshops or classes or groups that get together in the name of achieving a higher level. I plan on attending another Dru Blair airbrush workshop this year and who knows what else. For me personally though, I learn so much from studying other artist’s work. I love analyzing them and trying to discover how they engineered that work of art. When inspired enough I take that energy back to the drawing table and trial and error it until I get it right. Patience and work ethic are two qualities that come naturally to me, so those mixed together with determination to learn something usually yields success, even in small doses.<br>

''Born in Texas in 1973, Glenn fell in love with drawing at a very early age. He couldn’t play sports, couldn’t talk to girls, didn’t even socialize that well, but he loved to draw. He knew very early on he wanted to be an artist not only for a living, but for the rest of his life. He attended some college, learned very little, but then joined Fasen Arts in 1993. Through persistence, dedication, practice, and a healthy work ethic, he became a better and better artist. He now manages the caricature operations in Universal Studios in Orlando, FL still under Fasen Arts, does freelance gigs, gift caricatures, illustrations, logo designs, and lots of other artistic endeavors. He still can’t play sports or talk to girls, but he lives with his girlfriend, JoAnn in Orlando and works out in the park and in his home studio. You can see lots of his work and what he’s up to at www.glennfergusonarts.com''
