“Eat Sleep Draw receives 800-1,000 submissions a week and publishes a picture every hour, 24 hours a day — that’s more than 35,000 pieces to date. It has 160,000 followers and gets 500,000 page views a month. “It’s pretty wicked considering I’m not paying for hosting,” says 26-year-old Lee. Despite high traffic, Eat Sleep Draw currently makes only “a couple of hundred bucks a month” from ads and by selling custom-made sketchbooks. However, Lee is confident that he can turn his tumblr into a sustainable business.”
