One morning I woke up and I had an email from LinkedIn in my inbox, and it was a”You’ve got an recommendation!” email. And this recommendation was from my favorite band’s (Bowling for Soup) front man and contact of mine, Jaret Reddick. In the last three years I’ve done a lot of freelance work with the group ranging from posters to album art. The recommendation was a good one; it made me feel so good that I thought I would share it with you all;

 ”Steven is an artistic genius and is too young to be this good! 
I have hired him to do from small sketch projects to entire album layouts, sometimes with VERY little turn around time, and he has absolutely nailed every one!…In fact, I can not think of an instance that my expectations were not only met, but completely blown out of the water…. 
Steven set the bar high with a simple drawing of ME about three years ago…Since then, I have watched him blossom into one of the most talented (if not THE most talented) artists on my go-to list! 
Hire this guy before you can’t afford him!”

I can’t express how much the above means to me.
