SKETCHOHOLIC CHAT TONIGHT AT 11PM NY TIME

I positively hate interviews but I can't say no to my old friend Bobby Chiu who conducts these informal video chats with creative individuals in the artistic community. If you are an artist interested in self-publishing and what I do at Brandstudio Press or any other art-related subject, please go to: SKECHTOHOLIC tonight at 11:00 PM EDST I'm not sure you can ask questions directly to me but I believe you can send them to Bobby and he'll ask them in your behalf.

There's a contest going on as well, the winner will get an original drawing (most likely a page of my personal sketchbook) and a set of 8 Brandstudio Press books.




Update: Here are the winners:

First Place: Charles Santoso

Second Place: Hector Lopez

Additional winners:
Jesse Winchester

Doguin

Francesco Castelli

Jonathan Lopez


Congrats to the winners, prizes will go out this coming week, as I just got back home from two weeks of nonstop traveling. Thank you, all for playing.

Abrazos,
_Alberto
