So after FC2014, Baron and I sat down and really took a look at things, on where we were art career wise. Our old company, BackBreaker Studios LLC, is long since gone, and at the beginning of last year we were able to pay off the final debts that had incurred. Now, we both agreed it's time to get back on the horse, a little wiser.
Yes, that's right, we're going to be opening a new artistic business and putting our artistic works back on the market for all to enjoy. This site, smudgemarks-engelwerks.com, will slowly, over the next few months, be turned into the main hub on where to find us, our projects, and products. It will take a little bit to get all our business paperwork put together before we can formally open our doors for sales.
We are taking the lessons we learned from BackBreaker and applying them here. For one, we will be forming the new business as an unlimited partnership, not as an LLC. We are also not going to try to reach for the brass ring of Hollywood again. While we *almost* made it work last time, we simply don't have the resources to try again. Doesn't mean we're aren't willing to talk if someone approaches about one of our projects, just that we won't be trying to case the industry again. Lastly, we will be focusing more on Baron's art than my own, getting it out to a broader audience. I, myself, will be taking more of a behind the scenes position, running a lot of the day-to-day stuff as well as product management so he can focus on creating great content.
In the meantime, is there anything you'd like to see us do? Any image from the old BB catalog you'd like to see returned? New product you'd thing would be awesome to have? Ideas for the website? We're open to suggestion! Feel free to comment below! We'd love to hear from you!
