If you've been a fan of my art for very long, you're already familiar with Seattle-based jewelry designer Camisha Jackson, a frequent subject of my portraits and sketches. The first drawing I did of her was as a character called the Dragon Lady (Camisha hearts dragons), back in the Myspace Era.

Here's a Kid Carvers sketch Samax drew for a customer

So I needed some money one day, so instead of asking for money, I offered a one day sale where customers who bought an issue of Kid Carvers & The Backyard Bike Bandits from the GM store got a free sketch of the Carver twins. The offer got lots of likes, shares and a few comments, but only one customer. So here's what I drew for him...
