After nearly 5 years, a lot of sleepless nights drawing, slapping my art and designs on shirts, hustling, getting depressed, damn near giving up at times, I'm finally nearing 1,000 followers. I know in the larger scheme of things, that doesn't really hold any weight. I know it's miniscule compared to other artists, but nonetheless, I am proud of it as it has all been organic, real people. Friends, musicians, and artists I respect, no paid followers, no fake bullshit. Just busting my ass trying to make it work, getting the name and work into peoples faces and hands. I put all of what little extra/ free time I have into this thing. It's nice to see that many people have at least taken even a second to just LOOK at what I do or even buy a single thing I make. Maybe I'll do a special, exclusive giveaway if/ when I hit 1,0000? Names in a hat kinda thing for a one-of-a-kind shirt or hoodie? Pretty fuckin cool, man. Here's a little Katsuhiro Otomo inspired guy to show my excitement... #burningstoneapparel #burningstone #katsuhirootomo #akira #manga #anime #art #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #undergroundclothing #clothingbrand #wacom #cintiq16 #clipstudiopaintpro #1000followers (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGjqDPllwcK/?igshid=5ugqedyb58q9
