What if the work your startup needs today could become part of the investment in what you’re building?
I own MHDesigns LLC , a creative studio working across branding, graphic design, product development, 3D modeling/prototyping, packaging, web creative, and launch materials.
I’m currently interested in connecting with founders, inventors, startups, and growing brands who may be open to something beyond the traditional client/vendor relationship.
I’m exploring partnerships structured around:
• Reduced upfront cost + revenue share
• Design/product work + royalties
• Services exchanged for equity
• Cash + equity/royalty hybrid deals
• Product-development partnerships where we both benefit from growth
The right project could go from idea → visual identity → CAD/prototype → packaging → sales/marketing creative → launch with one creative partner involved throughout the process.
I’m especially interested in physical products, consumer brands, new inventions, e-commerce products, and early-stage companies with something already moving beyond just an idea.
I’m not looking to work for “exposure.” I’m looking for situations where both sides are putting something meaningful into the opportunity and both participate in the upside.
If you’re building something and need a creative/product partner—or you know someone who is— comment below or message me.

I found out recently that the owner and operator of Lot's Cave Publishing has passed away.
While information is tough to get, it appears from the evidence of everything that is and is not happening that Lot's Cave was largely or entirely a one-man operation and that he passed away without anything established for the continuation of Lot's Cave after his passing.
This means some problems with Royalties for any authors who published through Lot's Cave, as well as not being able to track sales.
Lot's Cave acted as a hub and representative for many authors. With the passing of the owner, that has seen the website become entirely nonfunctional and it completely disconnects the Royalty Settlement Chain.as far as I've been able to determine.
I again stress that getting information is challenging.
There is one woman I engaged with via email who seems to be the one this mess got dropped onto.
She's trying to execute a controlled shut-down, but has no signing authority over anything, she's just trying to put the website to rest and such.
In the end, there's many questions and some answers with a few hard facts sprinkled over it all.
But it's clear to see that this is a major problem for all authors who published through Lot's Cave.
I will be pursuing the only course I can; Re-releasing everything I published through Lot's Cave on my own via my Deviantart account.
**https://www.deviantart.com/rlblackburne** It's the only real option I have and allows me direct-control over things which is to my liking.
Also, it lets me fix some issues with the cover art on some previously-released works that really bothered me.
For entertainment value, below are the covers 'as-they-are' and the work-in-progress prototype for one of the covers I am putting together for the re-releases.
Thank-you for reading and please visit my Deviantart Galleries where you can find beautiful and terrifying cityscapes in the realms of fantasy as well as some teasers for The Lovecraft Investigations Agency.
These two pieces of cover-art below are my former Publishers work.
It's pretty easy to see why I dislike these cover-art pieces as they both look cringingly amateurish.
They also make the books seem as if they are aimed at young teens and pre-teens.
Which Is NOT The Intended Audience At All !!!
Also, 'TYPHONR' is a Mis-Spelling of what the title is supposed to be.
Basically, these covers felt like a direct insult aimed at me and my work.
Still, Lot's Cave will be missed, I had an overall good relationship with the owner.
This image below with the Photorealistic cover-art of the black-haired woman with sunglasses is the w.i.p. 'prototype' of the cover for 'CYBERNOIRE'.
I am of the opinion my work speaks for itself.
Gritty, Urban, Aimed at a Mature Adult Audeience.
It took quite some time getting the image of the primary character
'just right'.
I am working on building a better 'chrome-reflective' looking font, once that's done, I'll complete the cover.

welllllll, I found out what's happened to Lot's Cave Publishing...
The owner passed away a couple years back and from what I understand it was pretty much a one man operation. This has me concerned about what happens regarding the Royalties of books I published through them.
Trying to get any answers is challengingly daunting at best, so I'm simply going to assume the worst-case scenario and re-release my books on my own. Which does let me fix the covers, which have some errors that have bothered me for a while as I shopped out the cover-design due to having no ability to handle such myself at the time.
Wishing you all a great weekend and hoping you all had a great or at leat passably-decent Valentine's day!!
