“The biggest misconception people have about me is that I'm stupid.”
That’s enough of talking about myself in the third person.
I am the youngest and most persecuted member from a family of six. I Love them to bits though. I hold the belief that family is one of nature's true masterpieces. Boring but still a fact, Dundee has been my oyster for the last 17 years. That’s the abridged version. A date with a good cup of java and Tiramisu could reveal more about me.
I have plans for world domination, but that will depend on my results. haha. (evil chuckle). On a more serious note though, I hope to pursue a career in architecture. I Plan to incorporate wicked cool art into a few structures and buildings. Hold thumbs! Though at the same time, Painting will always be my drug of choice, my creative release.
Like many other budding artists, destroying the lounge wall with my arsenal of crayons when I was a wee boy began my creative career and I have been at it ever since.
I am inspired to live life without flinching. To take a risk and possibly fail.
To act on my emotions, creativity, ability and beliefs. To take criticism but also have faith in myself and do it anyway. Bloody hard work, but then hard work never killed anyone (or so my Dad says)
The future holds beautiful things for me I hope to continue filling it with meaningful strokes and charismatic blotches. Like little boxes on the hillside, I will get a degree, but I will also explore at the same time. I can't decide if art is a passion of mine or a complete obsession? I love to enduldge myself in every aspect of art. I have dreams of seeing my work in a Gallery. I want to be known for who I am and what my message behind each piece was.
If all else fails…
I’ll find a wealthy wife who will support me and allow me to lounge around and immerse myself in the vivid realm of color and pure expression
