I found 3 used Draw Squad videos at a video store, I bought them cheap hoping
they would be something I could use... the kids LOVE them (I've used them
mostly with 4th grade). Do you know how many videos he has made and where one
could purchase them?

This is true in ALL areas of certification.

I agree with you about Mark Kistler's Draw Squad. I teach middle school and
this is the way I start each of my 6th grade classes when they first come to
me each nine weeks. And believe, after just a few days using these "warmup
exercises", they are "hooked on drawing".
