About Ted
Visual learning has always been a part of my life. In school, I struggled- not because I didn't want to learn, but because the programs were not suited for much beyond their scope. But then I took art class.
That was when the world changed for me. Not because I learned how to turn my ideas into drawing, but because I learned how to express myself through creativity and visual communication. Then, I applied this to every aspect of my life and made it through school!
Since then, I have made comic books by myself, as well as with other people in a team, written a few novels, made puzzle books for kids (Because who doesn't love a good puzzle?), and printed paints to sell at pop-up markets as a vendor!
I learned not from one, but from many. From my high school art teacher, to a private fine-arts teacher, from online tutorials to learning from comic book artists at comic cons, I have taken my art through the filters of learning.
But it wasn't easy. I spent hours and hours practicing and perfecting the human anatomy, drawing nature and landscapes, and even delved into abstract art and painting. I nearly gave up so many times, threw my pencil across the room and ripped my paper more times than I can count. I have even been told by some people that my art would never succeed and to give up- only to challenge their criticism and rise above them!
But us artists are never satisfied- we always want to keep practicing and improving, and there is nothing wrong with that! I look up to many artists and writers for inspiration all the time, and if it weren't for the heroes in my life, I never would have succeeded. I am thankful!

Have you ever dreamed of creating your own book to put out for the world to see?
But you weren't sure where to start? Stuck in tutorial videos that leave you feeling overwhelmed?
Well, this might be the class for you. I have developed a course that will have you start from scratch and end in publishing on Amazon!
You will learn how to start with a blank page, and through storyboarding and illustration, move to a final product worthy of showing your friends, family, and the entire world to see!
My name is Ted Pogo, and I have created comic books, novels, children's puzzle books- all published through Amazon KDP using mostly free tools and software! When I say "mostly", of course there is the purchase of paper, pencils and pens, a simple computer or laptop- the basics. But what I mean by "free" is that the digital software used to render and edit the artwork and books are totally free! Even publishing through Amazon does not cost a penny!
That's right! If you already have your own basic supplies and a computer, you can make your own book!
This course will turn you into a book hero in no time! After you are done, you will have the knowledge to create anything your heart desires. Dream away because the sky is your limit!
