Today’s another story time! I’ll share with you my relationship with art, drawing and painting from the time I was a KID! And all the way up til now.
I share in this episode some things I never shared before, so I really hope you enjoy it!
Let’s Start at Age 5
First memory – Drawing at my grandparents porch, Dr. Seuss book on one side and my piece of paper on the other. I vividly remember drawing the fuzzy elephant as I saw it.
Elementary School – Taking part in an extra-curricular COMICS class! I remember drawing all sorts of characters, and being very impressed with the older kids’ results.
Turns out me and comics go wayyy more back than I even remembered.
Junior High – Barely made any art
High School – Discovered anime (mainly Naruto and Death Note) and started drawing random anime characters.
I was actually able to dig up these drawings I did, never seen before…!
I spontaneously decided to look for old drawings in my old emails, and was so happy to find that I did have a few!
Military Service – During this time I was barely doing any art. Only in the last 6 months of my service I started moving towards that direction again.
I Could End up NOT an Artist!
That’s the craziest part here.
If you look carefully, you’ll see that from the time I was around 5 years old, all the way up to the military service, over more than a decade – all there was was a steady decline in how much I was creating.
Had the circumstances been even just a little different here and there, I might have not become an artist at all.
In the episode itself I got into a longer rant about the education system, parents and so on haha.
But luckily – I have become one!
My Future Part in the Art World
I also discuss my future part in the art world, and how I want to go beyond my current niche and play a more major role.
More on that in the future, as it unfolds.
Thank YOU So Much
I’m very grateful for you, the listener / viewer / follower. I couldn’t have done any of the things I have without you.
I really appreciate that, and look forward to being able to share and help more and more in the future
