Biography

Advanced Artist is a project started in February of 2006. Working with various artists and designers over the last few years, Tom came to realize that advanced or next level training from actual artists for CorelDRAW and other graphic applications was practically non existent.

Tom can remember thinking to himself, "if only they knew what that software was really capable of".

Working with CorelDRAW, Adobe illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks along with many other graphics applications over the last ten years has proved to be a very liberating experience for Tom. Working as an artist is the dream career for him as his work is his passion.

While he does work as a sub contactor for a local graphics companies he has taken on the Advanced Artist website as a side project which he works on in the evening and on weekends as time permits. Tom looks forward to watching his vision of assisting other artists in maximizing their work productivity while taking their illustration and design skills to the next level unfold.

Due to the great response Tom has had to the website and tutorials he will be adding a lot of tutorials, resources and other content to the AdvancedArtist.com website. Please sign up for the newsletter so he can keep you posted as he updates the site.
