I live maybe 100 miles from LA. Gas alone would be a chunk. Maybe start saving up for it.
I have a fairly good handle on basic anatomy. But Im weak in crucial areas and Im really hungry for a level of excellence. Love that they are intensive as you said. I was planing to try an escorche figure on my own using just Bruno Lucchesis book as a guide. Dont know how that will work or if I will end up instilling bad habits. Im also eagerly waiting for the "freedom of teach" dvd!
