Landon, who was an illustrator for the Cleveland press, art director for the Newspaper Enterprise Association, and an art director for Cosmopolitan magazine. The school provided mail-order correspondence courses in drawing for publication, focusing heavily upon the caricature style popular in the 1910s that included exaggerated action, heavily textured images, and clean lines. Among those who took Landon's courses were cartoonists Ethel Hays, Roy Crane, and Carl Barks. The school closed in 1937 upon the death of Landon.
