No offense, but I think he is quite unprofessional.. and downright ugly. And I don't just say that because he was drawn by my competition.
He doesn't really tie in very well with the sharpness of the site. PulseToday seems to me like a very cutting-edge, get-over-here-you-gotta-read-this! kind of site. And a marketing "Viking" is just not in his element here.
I think you could do
better!
