He taught artists at these studios as well as at many game and special effects studios.

His draftsmanship was used as reference and teaching points by Walt Stanchfield who gave weekly classes and lectures at the Disney studio. These notes are referenced and published in Stanchfield's books: Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes.[5][6]

He is the author of numerous books including, The Vilppu Drawing Manual. His drawing methods are regarded as the standard for professional artists. His approach has been applied by thousands of artists, animators and art professionals worldwide.
