From One-Man Army
to AI-Powered Studio
How a Navy veteran and artist built a thriving e-commerce brand — with five AI employees doing the heavy lifting.
I'm Richard Abreu — a U.S. Navy veteran, artist, and the founder of Cumquat Vibes. I create original hand-drawn designs and put them on everything from wall art to joggers. No AI-generated art. No templates. Every single piece comes from me.
U.S. Navy Veteran
Being a solo entrepreneur
is brutal.
Social media never sleeps. I needed to post, engage, and grow my audience — but creating art was already a full-time job.
Finding leads? Doing research? Writing SEO content? I couldn't do it all and still have time to actually create.
Legal questions, sales strategy, marketing plans — every founder wears a dozen hats. I was wearing them all at once.
I needed a team — but not the kind you interview and onboard. I needed something that could start working today.
— Richard Abreu, on discovering Marblism
Five AI Employees.
One Artist.
I use nearly every AI employee Marblism offers. Each one handles a different part of my business so I can focus on what I do best — create.
Creates my social media posts so I can stay visible without the constant grind of content creation.
Finds leads without me lifting a finger. I'm constantly refining sales strategies with him. Stan is the man.
Keeps my day organized and my communications tight — like having a personal chief of staff.
Writes SEO-optimized blog content that drives organic traffic to my Shopify store.
Taught me so much about the legal side of running a business. Knowledge I didn't even know I needed.
Finding leads without lifting a finger. Refining strategies. Learning new sales approaches every day. Stan turned lead generation from my biggest headache into my biggest advantage.

Social media posts being created. Leads coming in. Blog content going live. Legal questions answered. All while I'm at the studio painting. That's the power of having five AI employees working around the clock.
More than automation.
An education.
The results speak
for themselves.
Real hours. Real results.
Marblism has helped me skyrocket my business into the next century and helped me achieve my goal of being a successful solo entrepreneur.
