"lead artist and co-founder @gapingvoid. creator of hughcards. author of "ignore everybody" (penguin portfolio 2009). raleigh, north carolina."

Since 1997 I've drawn thousands of little cartoons on the back of business cards, just to give me something to do while sitting at the bar.

These small pieces are hung together in large groups of several hundred to create what I call "Cathedrals" i.e, an environment of contemplation.

I've had three books published, "Ignore Everybody" is my best one.

Looking back, for all the countless hours spent drawing , it seems to me that the best thing to come out of it was the fact that a good many of those hours were spent bringing my mind to a meditative state, a Zen state, in the zone, a mindful state, closer to the Lord, call it what you will. For that, I am truly grateful.

I like getting emails from y'all: hughcards@gmail.com.

Thanks for visiting,
