    If anyone is interested, author John Garvin has compiled and printed all the lessons of the Landon School of Illustrating and Cartooning in a book only available at Amazon: The Landon School of Illustrating and Cartooning


    I purchased a copy and couldn't be happier at the invaluable, old-school drawing instruction. Get one before they're gone forever.
