Hey all, 

I have uploaded all my products as a creator to Flipped Normals. I wanted to let people know as ArtStation runs sales at different times. 

They have a sale now!

It will be great to be able to teach all aspects of environment art and very much looking forward to getting to interact with everyone. It's been an amazing journey for me teaching Substance workshops and classes through CGMA and I am really excited to be able to also delve into all aspects of environment art as well.

If you want to know any more details or have any questions just let us know in the comments section below.

Thanks
Ben
