We at Curious Confections believe in the power of the pioneering spirit of creative individuals.  We admire anyone who can take a talent, skill, or product, make it marketable, and try to make a living from it.  Heck, we are those people.  As such we’ve got a good habit of trying to support and promote go-getters who are making their dreams a reality, bolster the small business community, contribute to their local economies, and contribute to the happiness of others — especially in Austin, but we recognize stand-out people everywhere.

Martin Whitmore is a talented illustrator, living and working in Austin.  He took a chance and walked away from his 9-to-5 job in order to earn a living using his abundant talents.  He has a wildly wicked sense of humor, and made his way into our hearts by being as big a fan — bigger, even — of zombies and the undead as we are.  He draws Tasty Flesh, a twice-weekly webcomic, offers a variety of products on his site… t-shirts, prints, etc, and takes personal commissions.

Do us a favor — do yourself a favor — and take a few minutes to learn a little more about Marty and what he does.  If you like what you see, show him a little love and throw some business his way.  Support the arts by supporting a talented artist.
