BEYOND MEDIOCRITY or spraying for the "OWHATTHEHECK" bug"
Douglas Boyd, Guest Lecturer
“In this world where we so often have to inoculate ourselves against indifference, lower standards and, yes, mediocrity, we as lettering artists must not only be on the defense but also go on the offense when it comes to understanding, performing, perfecting, and preserving our loved skill. This presentation will help make you more aware of destructive pitfalls, arm you for properly fighting back and taking action, and set you up to reap a new level of success, satisfaction, and reward.....if you WANT to. Now who wouldn't want to beat a path through fire ants to hear this dog and pony/insect show.....woweeee.....”--Doug Boyd
