Business Pitch Video
Unfortunately, I didn't win but it was a good exercise for me to do. If not just for the exercise, but pushing myself to be better. the stop motion was created by me using cardboard and acrylic paint. To cut and paint all the pieces it took 10-16 hours every day for 2 months.

Script:
Have you ever longed to journey through the realms of imagination while fully awake?
In a world fraught with doubt, I offer a glimpse into the potential for inner healing. Through my unique, dreamlike oil paintings ,each brushstroke serves as a guide to help you through the void to connect you with your inner truth.

At some point, every artist gets the question “Why do you create?” For me, it's an undeniable compulsion. It's about making the world more beautiful, seeking answers, and experiencing the euphoria of creation, destruction, and overcoming self-doubt to achieve the satisfaction of completion. Perhaps in those moments, amid euphoric throes, I can lookatn the face of a god and feel like an equal. Or maybe I’m a madman with a brush and some pigment.
You might find solace in my art, or perhaps you'll spot a chicken in a dreamlike dune landscape. The essence of my creation is to cleanse the soul and foster enlightenment—a philosophy rooted in alchemy.
Let's talk numbers.
I've been selling shirts and stickers featuring my illustrations on platforms like Redbubble and Amazon since 2017. However, despite the effort I've put in, the earnings haven't matched up with the time invested. This isn't profit this is "Candy Bar Money." At least I know my sales were by organic growth.
After analyzing my sales data, I've realized that relying on these platforms isn't profitable due to their fees, unpredictable algorithms, and concerns about product quality. Although I have a global audience, I want to move away from these sites and take control of my sales.
The Plan
Like the mighty oak, everything starts with a seed, a dream that grows, dies, and is reborn into something strong that can withstand the fiercest storms. With your help, I aim to take my art to new heights.
I know I have an audience now. It's time to diversify and go out on my own. To start I'll be using print-on-demand services. But to kickstart this, I need funds for the domain and shipping fees. Once sales pick up, I'll expand my inventory and reach out to local storefronts, art fairs, and events. I also aim to increase my online presence on major retailer websites and eventually bring production in-house.
But you need customers.
Yes, to make a profit, you need customers. I'll revitalize my podcast and YouTube channel, targeting two main groups: artists/art enthusiasts and horror/Halloween fans.
The Ask:
Let's collaborate. Whether you need a fresh perspective on branding, design, social media, or public relations, I'm here to help. If you're interested in showcasing or selling my work, let's chat. Are you a vendor? Let's strike a deal.
Opportunity
All I'm asking for is an opportunity to share my creations with the world. Who knows? Maybe one day, I'll stumble upon my artwork hanging in a place I never expected.
What about the money? On the screen is a breakdown of the startup supplies needed:
Domain for website and e-commerce storefront
Dedicated work computer.
Design software
Painting materials (canvas)
Accountant/ Legal Service
Upgrades to filming equipment
