Mark and Jeff Analysing Concept Art
By Mark David Teo
When Jeff and myself met, we quickly began to analyse and wonder about the 'correct path' to take. It was our second career, and we didn't want to waste any time.
It's been 5 years since our first class together, and we've both now achieved the dreams we wanted. Yet, to this day, we still analyse art and life pathways on an almost daily basis.
I hope you can enjoy some of our ramblings.
