Biography

Howdy hey. I enjoy creating comedy to delight and confuse, and applying those sensibilities to the business world. I believe strongly that if you lead with art and sincerity, the rest of the pieces will fall into place.

In 2010 I started I Want To Draw a Cat For You (http://iwanttodrawacatforyou.com). In 2011, I appeared on ABC's Shark Tank and made a deal with Mark Cuban for 33% of my company. To date, I've drawn about 8,500 stick figure cats for customers all around the world.

Whoopy!

That's Blewt! We strive to remove bland predictability from your life – be it through stage, screen, monitor, or store. Blewt! creates comedy to delight and confuse.
