Fascinating pen-and-ink drawings that range in content from the fantastic to the abstract underscore artist Todd Messer’s minimalist style—a coincidental conundrum of simplistic complexity reminiscent of da Vinci’s notebook drawings. His strangely lyrical stories provide an excellent accompaniment to Todd’s original artwork, giving the reader just a glimpse of Todd’s inner eye.
His practical side yearned to display and sell his work, though his private side urged caution—“always keep a safe distance between yourself and the world,” Todd reasoned. Deliberately stark and self-crafted, his Media Spiders® web venue proved to be the necessary compromise. Dynamic image movement brings life to the site.

And fortunately Todd’s practical side includes a damn fine web designer, which he put to good use in setting up his site’s back-end processing. Harnessing the i-Spider content management tool, he uploads artwork, stories, even t-shirt designs—any new idea—in the blink of an eye. By linking the site to Paypal, the secure online payment service, Todd ensured the site’s point-of-sale readiness to entice buyers with an easy purchase option.
No matter how unique the artist, no matter how narrow the market, Media Spiders® portfolio system can be tailored to individual specifications. Direct online sales also beats shopping your pieces to galleries or publishers. At Media Spiders, we know how to balance the practical with inspiration and allow artists to capitalize on their creativity.
