Are you looking to elevate yourself and your portfolio professionally? I'm offering a limited amount of slots for a new mentorship program. My mentorship is not your typical 'art mentorship,' although there will be many tips and tricks for your art along the way! My mentorship is about how to build a portfolio to get you hired into the entertainment industry. Ideal candidates are juniors or seniors in college, recent graduates, or people who think they are 'almost there but not quite.'
1-on-1 one hour sessions once a month are $150. 1-on-1 one hour sessions twice a month are $250. Our first session is a free 60-90 minute meet and greet with the purchase of either plan so that I can understand your needs and goals and what strategies we need to create to meet them. Scheduling is flexible, with as many sessions as you'd like for as long as you want! My mentorship will teach you how to: Utilize Time Management Hacks Be a Working Professional Write Emails Prep for Interviews Take Advantage of Networking Interact with Recruiters Layout your Portfolio Organize your Portfolio Develop your "Eye" Stand Out as an Artist and Human Being I offer all my mentees direct access to me! Mentees are encouraged to keep in touch with me throughout the weeks between sessions so we can keep you on track to reaching your goals!

Student Testimonials - Scott Thigpen
"If you were like me and didn't take the path of art school but later realized that you wanted to find a way into the industry, yet you feel that your portfolio and direction are not progressing as they should, then Brandon can certainly help. With an eye for imagination, ideas, and what is needed to capture the attention of an art director, Brandon offers a unique approach. His method is distinct; he is interested in helping you craft narratives, stories, and concepts within your portfolio, rather than just accumulating 'cool work' that looks nice. He aims to help you create a concise portfolio that tells your story and showcases what you can bring to the animation industry. Having the privilege of being mentored by him is undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made for my art career."
