The hardest part about being as artist is promotion. Creating art is easy. Getting people to look at it is another story. I finally got around to making business cards, which is something that should have happened a long time ago.
I’ve been leaving them everywhere and giving them to everyone. There’s no way of knowing if they’re succeeding. If you found this site due to business card, please leave a comment.
There are five hundred. I am hand drawing an individual piece of art on every one.



It is turning out to be quite the endeavor.

it is sketchbook Saturday! This is an older sketch of a patchwork zombie playing with a pair of yo-yo’s. At that point muscle memory is all you got, you know?
