Mike Van Orden

I'm Mike Van Orden, a Professional Self-Taught American Comic Book Artist, Art Mentor and World Traveler currently based in Thailand. I've worked professionally with companies like Marvel, Aspen Comics, Upper Deck and more. I was recently recognized as one of the industry's leading Art Mentor/Instructors. I am also the  Founder of  'Comic Art Mastery' (CAM!) which was notably endorsed by best selling comic book artist and creator of Deadpool's very own, Rob Liefield.I've been studying, drawing and creating comic book art, mastering my own style and unique techniques that have paved the way for my success for well over a decade.  I have vast experience teaching, coaching and mentoring hopeful, budding artists of all ages and skill levels with a tremendous emphasis on the aspects of becoming a professional artist; from developing the proper artist's mindset, to honing the skills and techniques of a Pro, all the way to self-promotion, marketing and building a winning portfolio strategies and more. I look forward to passing on my artistic knowledge and experience to you, my fellow artist and I can't wait to see how far you can go!
