SERIOUS CREATURES IS THE CREATIVE OFFSPRING OF BRADY & AMBER BLACK.

Okay, but really.

During an incredibly challenging period of Brady's life, he picked up the sketchbook again after letting it collect dust for half-a-dozen years. Then there was a hurricane, a move to the Middle East, some wife-y craziness (yes, that's me), and some good old-fashioned desert-downtrodden-ness... and we found ourselves in need of something to share in together.

At just that time, we were steadily receiving inquiries from people about buying various art-y shenanigans Brady was posting on the web. And after a specific request for hand-illustrated "lunch box cards" (which would later become Mini Art Notes), Serious Creatures was officially born.

We still live in the Middle East and have the most fantastic group of people stateside to help make sure the show goes on regardless of where on the planet we happen to be plopped at any given time.

And that's a good thing, because while we moonlight here at Serious Creatures, our day "job" (we're volunteers, actually) is working with abused and abandoned children just outside of Beirut, Lebanon. (You can read more about that here.)
Thanks for being a part of our work both stateside and abroad. We couldn't do it without you.
