"Often it isn't the mountains ahead that wear you out, its the little pebble in your shoe." -Muhammad Ali
The mountain: To be a successful artist.
The pebble: Nerves.
I'm not scared to share my artwork with people. I'm scared to share my artwork with people and have it be rejected. I don't want to be a Vincent Van Gogh...paint...not sell a painting...have people tell you your paintings suck...die...then have my paintings sell for millions. Not exactly how I want my art career to go. So what do I have that he didn't have?
The Answer: Blogspot, Facebook, and Twitter.
This is me taking initiative and actually trying to take that first step without that little pebble in my shoe. I need to know that as an artist people are going to have their opinions. And I have to learn how to take those opinions about my work, and make it constructive. I'm going to share my artwork with you. I want to branch out and show people what I can do. So through this blog, I will try to post some things that I am working on. I'll try to show you my crazy brainstorming process and then the finished masterpiece. So wish me luck:)
Sincerely,
The kid going out on a limb trying to make a living doing something he's passionate about.
