    I’m not trying elevate this conversation into potential argument. However, just because on paper you are RETIRED, as you highlighted, doesn’t mean you did so under your own free will. The fact is I really don’t know for sure . In my opinion his class acts as a catalyst to push art products on people who are insecure about their graphic ability. Drawing is a means of getting an idea on paper, it doesn’t have to be beautiful. Unfortunatley many of his “students” feel buying fancy markers and following a strict drawing style will make them a better designer. Hey,maybe it does and I just don’t get it. Just stating my opinion.

    I totally agree with you about the importance of graphic communication, it was my focus in school. This is why I have problems with Mike Lin. His graphic style does not accuratley represent the landscapes that will ultimatley be constructed, leaving clients dissapointed. I have alittle experience with Mr. Lin and know that he will say whatever it takes to sell you his junk, whether you need it or not. When it comes to graphic communication a stylize graphic is great, but when you are tweaking a perspective to have it look “correct” then where does the true design lie in that picture. I think hand renderring has it’s place and realize that I have a biased viewpoint becuase I prefer 3d modeling. However, Mike Lin stopped designing many, many, many, years ago after he was fired from his teaching position for trying to rip his own students off . That’s all for me I guess, thanks for your reply.

    Mike Lin??? He doesn’t even design anything other than his wallet. Maybe if the title was who has influenced the business of teaching 70’s marker rendering I wouldn’t be such a party pooper.
