About Us

Crimes Against Art (CAA) is a LA-based costume drawing studio run by Yaxaira and Jamie, artists and friends working in the animation industry who love drawing people.

Every month, we share a recorded figure drawing session featuring a costumed model, a variety of timed poses, and a professional artist from the industry who draws alongside you. While they sketch, they share their process, career, and impart their wisdom on the fledging path of being an artist.

We started CAA because we wanted something we always wished existed—an accessible, affordable space to learn, stay inspired, and feel connected to a creative community.

This is for artists who want to keep growing, stay curious, and feel less alone in the process. Thanks for being here. See you in the next session!

Stay inspired,

Yaxaira & Jamie
