## Caption

Aaron Sechrist is better known as okpants. He also describes himself as an artist in a designer’s body. After being laid off in 2008, he decided to chase being an artist full-time. 
 
“It was like the universe telling me we’re going to make the freelance thing work, or we’re just going to wrangle carts in a Walmart parking lot. It was time for me to jump off the cliff with this.”
