    I had the pleasure of meeting this dude in 2010. I was in Sharpstown Mall, leaving after doing some shopping... and there he was, walking into his shop! I Shouted his name, he stopped and shook my hand and we exchanged a few words. Any other rich dude, would've ignored me and kept walking, but this man made some time to speak to me, like a human being.
    His hustle is amazing, but I'm sure his success is partly due to his humble attitude. 10/10 man right here!

    What is at the heart of this man’s business is his creative spark! He’s an artist, who not only revolutionised this niche industry, but is driving it forward by trying to stay fresh and relevant. He is a chameleon - he has this unique ability to read his customers and create a perfect piece, based on their previous pieces (whether they’ve come from his shop or not). He gives them what they didn’t know they wanted and holds fast to the tenets of a good salesman - it’s all about under promising, over delivering and the respect and relationship he nurtures with each client. In essence...he must also sell himself. His resilience and success seem to hinge on strictly being above board in his business dealings, taking care of the people who helped build his empire (they’re not just his employees, they’re part and parcel of what makes the business work and you can see the comfort and mutual respect that is engendered), maintaining his sobriety and customer care so as to be an asset, not a liability, and finally.....staying creative and relevant and loving every second of the job. This was a great peek into a world I don’t know!
