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.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2012/03/features/tumbling-on-success?page=all" target="_blank">Tumbling on success: How Tumblr’s David Karp built a £500 million empire (Wired UK)</a></em>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16929749702http://leerubenstein.com/post/16929749702Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:19:00 -0500eatsleepdrawinterviewwired UKpress<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyq3aqWet41qz7t0xo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://eatsleepdraw.com/post/16867849517" target="_blank">eatsleepdraw</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p class="p1">We here at EatSleepDraw receive over 1000 submissions a week and what most people don’t know is that we spend time looking at each and every piece of art.</p> <p class="p1">EatSleepDraw is made possible by the most creative people on Tumblr and we would be honored if you considered nominating us for <a href="http://shortyawards.com/special_awards/microblog" target="_blank">Microblog of the year on Tumblr in this years Shorty Awards.</a></p> <p class="p1">Thank you not only for your consideration, but for allowing us the privilege to view the art you create everyday.</p> <p><span>You can nominate <a href="http://shortyawards.com/special_awards/microblog" target="_blank">here.</a></span></p> <p><span><a href="http://lee.tumblr.com" target="_blank">- Lee</a></span><br/><span>Cofounder of EatSleepDraw</span></p> </blockquote>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16869035787http://leerubenstein.com/post/16869035787Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:12:26 -0500eatsleepdrawthanks<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyq4728Ax01qz4rgfo1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p>proud of this one.</p>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16868303400http://leerubenstein.com/post/16868303400Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:52:14 -0500super bowldipchips<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyq07dE34z1r3nuzio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tiewednesday.tumblr.com/post/16865470278/pirate-tie-is-a-pirate-tie-wednesday-lee" target="_blank">tiewednesday</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>pirate tie is a pirate. </p> <p>tie wednesday!</p> <p><a href="http://leerubenstein.com" target="_blank">- Lee </a></p> </blockquote>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16865482079http://leerubenstein.com/post/16865482079Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:26:25 -0500gpoyw<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lybkkaxKIE1qz4rgfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I think we need some more ads on this page, I can still see content.</p>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16652111359http://leerubenstein.com/post/16652111359Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:30:13 -0500googledon't be eviladsensecontentads<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyfnp99wyL1qz7expo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sarahrubs.tumblr.com/post/16552222945/bro" target="_blank">sarahrubs</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Bro!</p> </blockquote> <p>Sis!</p>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16553293136http://leerubenstein.com/post/16553293136Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:36:31 -0500sister<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyfhdkujUX1qz4rgfo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Like TOMS only Skechier?</p>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16543758872http://leerubenstein.com/post/16543758872Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:03:20 -0500TOMSskechersripoff<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyd4i3Lexm1qzol4do1_r1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://danmeth.com/post/16468030117/watermelonnightsuk" target="_blank">danmeth</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span><strong>Watermelon Nights</strong>… <strong>performed by a British private school jazz band?<br/></strong><a href="http://www.johncrave.com/CompleteJohnCrave/Covers/WatermelonNights.mp3" target="_blank">*click here for mp3</a><br/>This is the kind of thing that keeps me going.<br/>When you receive an email from a kid named Rupert in Bedfordshire, England who got his academy band to play an arranged version of <a href="http://danmeth.com/post/68531386/watermelonnights" target="_blank">“Watermelon Nights”</a><br/>That’s bloody brilliant.<br/>Cheers to Rupert and also to the Internet for making stuff like this happen! </span></p> </blockquote> <p>haha! awesome.</p>http://leerubenstein.com/post/16525358432http://leerubenstein.com/post/16525358432Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:44:13 -0500watermelon nightsjazz<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwmjvdarTI1qz7t0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://eatsleepdraw.com/post/16518033766" target="_blank">eatsleepdraw</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Rebecca.
