If you're reading this post, you probably just had me hand you a flier about doing artwork of your kids in sports. My unique style of shading with Sharpie markers is something I stumbled upon a decade ago. In the last few months, I've started working towards turning my hobby into a small business. I'm now drawing seven days a week, but I'm still selling my drawings fairly inexpensively to get my art out into the world and promote it. I work from photos, in particular, I use photos with lots of shadows. The drawing of skateboarder Diego Najera in the last post is a great example of this. Right now, I have a crowdfunding campaign going on Go Fund Me to jump start my business. I'm doing 12" X 18" drawings for $25, and 18" X 24" drawings for $50, which is less than I normally charge. The smaller drawings take me anywhere from 7 to 12 hours to draw, and the larger ones take 20 to 25 hours. So I'm not making a whole lot for the time involved. But as an artist new to the marketplace, it's a good way to promote my work. If you're interested in me doing a drawing of your kids (or dog, or custom car or whatever) you can call me here in Kernersville at (336) 937-3436, or email me at stevenemig13@gmail.com .
As I write this, I'm finishing up a series of drawings for an old friend in Texas, and I won't post those pictures until she actually receives them. I do have a few other recent drawings I'll be posting in the next few days, though. There are some artists out there who do amazing things with Sharpies, but no one uses a technique quite like mine. Here's you chance to get a unique, original drawing unlike anything else out there. I work on a first come, first served basis, so contact me soon to get on the list to get an original drawing of your kids playing their favorite sports.
