WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT STUDYING WITH PHIL STARKE
"I got your course and it's awesome for several reasons; one of which is your presentation and relaxed work ethic. Worth every cent; absolutely. THE best pile of information I've ever gotten out of an art teacher and I've had plenty; mostly worthless. I can't thank you enough. Just great. When I think of the wandering I would've done without this; it's scary. Thanks again. With every good wish for your life and work."
