Thanks for listening! God Bless, -Marshall Couture aka Calmplex Also Find me on Twitter, Facebook,YouTube, and DeviantArt.

I end the mini topic with a call to action for any advice in this area from many of you who are more experienced in this area.

Thanks for listening! God Bless, -Marshall Couture aka Calmplex Also Find me on Twitter, Facebook,YouTube, and DeviantArt. In this episode I talk about my un refined process in tackling Illustration work for clients. I tend to go with my first idea for an image instead of thumbnailing many ideas and having the client involved in decision of which idea to go with. Also I announce the new project I'm working on which will be a solo album over my boy Engleburt's beats titled "match made in human" . I discuss my process on writing and how it relates with art and also some thoughts on possibly using Kickstarter to fund it. Want to be on the show?
