The idea of becoming a professional artist can be an overwhelming and daunting task for anyone, especially aspiring artists who are just starting out. I’m here to help you make informed decisions.
WHO WE ARE
Created by Eliott Lilly, the BBWCA team is comprised of professional concept artists, teachers, and students who all volunteer their time to help on this project.
WHAT WE DO
As artists ourselves we understand that finding the right advice and guidance is crucial, so we only promote the best materials and resources.

Jessica Mitchell
Web Developer and Systems Manager
Jessica Mitchell works as a professional website devloper by day and a mixed media artist by night.

“My work explores the personal story created between the viewer and the art work. All of the work I create has a specific narrative that inspires various elements in each art piece. I love to create characters or scenes that have personality and attitude. I can find inspiration anywhere, whether it be visual or a story that catches my attention. I love putting my own spin on things and many of my works are inspired by a hodge-podge of ideas. Though I am a traditional artist at heart, I am inspired by contemporary art and constantly research new art mediums and technology to inspire my next idea.”
Colbie Comrie
All around strange guy (but helpful)
As a student of art, Colby Comrie can always be found designing characters, creatures, and anything sci-fi in his sketchbook. After attending an intro to Photoshop at Richland college, Colby decided to turned his focus towards concept art. Currently, Colby has plans to pursue his art full time. Outside of art, Colby is an avid reader and enjoys long walks on the beach with his two dogs, Sasquatch and Honey.
“I want to thank the ground for holding me up. I wouldn’t be where I am with my art without it.”
