ONE FANTASTIC WEEK
One Fantastic Week started with a simple idea. Peter Mohrbacher and Sam Flegal wanted to share the kinds of conversations they had at cons with a wider audience. So they started a weekly web show designed to help artists find success on their own terms. The pair interviews other working artists about their businesses, their lives and how the two intersect. By sharing their experiences, they encourage all artists towards greater success. Watch the latest episode at 1FantasticWeek.com
THE FANTASTIC WORKSHOP
Growing out of One Fantastic Week, Pete and Sam started a workshop where artists can immerse themselves in the business of art. In addition to teaching, they bring in amazing faculty with expertise in various forms of art and business to work one-on-one with attendees, give lectures, and do demos.
