Hi. I’m Brandon Mikel Paul.
I’m a Journeyman of: illustration, writing, life, and talking about the hard stuff.
I went to college for drawing. After graduating I had no idea how to make a living from my art. They don’t really teach that in art school.
After seeing artists on Instagram with thousands of followers, I thought: I CAN DO THAT TOO!
So I started tearing apart account after account to reverse engineer how to get Instagram followers!
In the last 16 months, I’ve gone from basically having 0 Instagram followers to now having over 21k followers and so much work that I have to start turning people away.
Getting followers on my Instagram has helped me get freelance work, sell prints of my drawings, and connect with talented artists to learn from.
I’m lucky to experience so much success this early in my art career, and I hope to inspire and teach other artists how to make money with their art.

I want to help you grow your brand on Instagram.
I made a lot of mistakes in the process of getting for 0 to 21k followers. This blog is a guide for artists to do the same, making fewer mistakes along the way.
With this blog, I want to be as transparent as possible with everything I do online. My art, my business, my strategies and my income – it’s all out there for you to see. I want talented artists to make a living doing what they love — making art. If you’re already doing art or business online, I hope that my experiences — both my wins and my failures — can help you reach your goals.
If you’re not doing art/business online but thinking about it, you can see what it’s like, see what’s involved and make decisions on your own without having to pay someone and be subjected to the possibility of false claims and wasted money.

Social media is like keeping a scrapbook or documentary of your life. You get to track you process, and it doesn’t always have to look polished and perfect.
