To whom it may concern

Geez this maze business has begun to snowball on me! It's been quite an exciting past couple of months with my mazes. I'm excited to see where these will lead me.
It was slow-going for a looong time, and I hadn't made any new mazes since moving from Dallas to Fort Wayne back in March. But as luck would have it, the editor of the Fort Wayne Monthly magazine stumbled upon my website and wrote me about having an interview. Long story short, I ended up with a four page article dedicated to my mazes in the September issue. Very cool. I've had a ton of feedback from it and everyone seems to like them. If they dont, they certainly stay quiet, which is a good thing for me at the moment, I'm fragile.
So, alright, September came to and end, I was happy for the exposure, but not much more came of it. Then October started... on October 1st, TheToyZone.com wrote a blog article about 18 incredible mazes, 16 of which were my own. I had no idea the article had been written until a few days later, when Ashton Kutcher tweeted about my mazes to his 3.7 MILLION followers! Now instead of being lucky to have someone visit my site, I'm up 1300% in traffic.
Thats not even the most exciting news. Just a couple of days ago I was contacted by one of the largest magazine publishers in the nation. In one of their national publications, they want me to draw simple mazes for them for their activity page. I'm currently drawing several examples to send in to them for review, due by Nov. 6th.

Anyway... I just thought I'd share. I never really expected this to go anywhere... if this keeps going it's going to turn into my career! Maze book, anyone?

Wow! I've found another maze artist! and you're like ten times better than I am! I've been starved for company- I've never personally met somebody who enjoys the art like I do. Glad I found you!
:iconnebberslite:

lol, I dont know about 10x better. I like your gallery! I'm hoping to have some more up here soon- I've been slacking.

I too have been slacking posting, but in reality this last couple weeks I've been drawing like mad. I think your gallery is just awesome. I wish I had all those college resources- for me it's just a pen, paper, and Adobe.
:iconnebberslite:
