Andrew Cefalu
I am a local published Freelance Illustrator. My focus is with digital illustration and concept art for fantasy and science fiction themed video games, board games, trading card games and books. I also create and color storyboards for advertising and film.
Along with my freelance work I also teach several private lessons and drawing and painting classes at the Post Road Art Center in Marlborough, MA. My teaching approach is fun and easy. I work with you to improve by honing your skills on the basics and helping you break through your creative walls. Learning art only takes patience and practice, no secret talent or magic necessary.

Anthony Reyes Rodriguez
I am a part of the National Art Honor Society, and the editor of my school's art and literary magazine known as Sachem. My job as a member of the NAHS is to help others through my art whether it is as small as a quick portrait or as large as making a mural for others. Sachem has a similar role as well in which I run art competitions to encourage students to submit their work to our magazine.
I am an Indigenous Latino artist inspired by my roots. Through my art I create outspoken voices, as well as push those around me to help those who are not as fortunate.
I am also a national champion in Karate under the WKF and the AJKL, allowing me to teach and assist in seminars, as well as referee in tournaments. I was taught discipline, organization, and how to de-escalate conflicts that have gotten out of hand.

Bob Collins
Teaching Philosophy
Great teachers care about their students and their education, never wasting a minute or taking a day in the classroom for granted. The best teachers realize that it is the mastering of steps, taught with diligence, that enable great successes to occur. In that limited classroom time, teachers must supply the students with the necessary tools to become life-long learners, to have a firm foundation on which they can continue to build and fuel their passion. It is through this that the students will create their artistic vocabulary which will enable them to communicate visually through their work, for the rest of their lives.
