Meet Laurent Martin



Meet Laurent Martin, that's me, the clown.   I own an independent Web and Print Design Business right down the hall, Austin Design Shop. The folks at Slapsale.com and I got along so well that they hired me to be their social networking director. In addition to helping them design promotional materials, like postcards and web banners, I write for and develop the slapsale.com social network.  So if your reading the blog, facebook, or twitter than I'm the author.
Before I started Austin Design Shop, I traveled the country as a clown, Lowrent the clown. Booking, promoting, and performing for a vaudevillian show, The 999 EYES.  In that time I developed a lot of experience with a variety of internet, artistic, business, and promotional skills, and some clown skills too. My signature act was quite spectacular.  I would come out on stage and start pumping up a large air cannon, at which point I would be joined by a lobster person and a 36" woman who would assist in loading the cannon with a hot dog.  Once all the preparations were made they would shoot the hot dog, with a burst of smoke, straight across the stage, and on the other side, I would catch it in my mouth.
