Jerry Kalback

It is my intent to introduce each student in my class to the field of illustration. As an educator I hope to take each student down undiscovered paths and pass along my passion for what I believe could be the best sport in town. Expanding one’s concept, opening new directions / thought processes, while illuminating it’s history, are part of my responsibilities as a coach. As a practicing illustrator I also share my personal frustrations and accomplishments, which are vital for students to see and experience.
