Become a Great Artist Online

Growing up, and all the responsibilities that go with it, is an experience that many of us don’t wholeheartedly welcome at first. We tend to focus on the negative instead of the sublime possibilities that may lie ahead. Remember, everybody goes through life with doubt – you’re not alone.

Tell us about yourself and how your passion started?
Hi I’m Chris, and I’m addicted to drawing pictures, pulling all nighters, working for peanuts and most of all procrastinating. My passion for pictures started early, very early.

In the end it all paid off, today I am an illustrator of picture books. Now-a-days instead of drawing pictures for my grandmother I give her signed copies of my picture books. I still read other picture books and when I see lego’s I still play with it.. so not much has changed since I was a child. I prefer it that way

They don’t tell you how difficult it is going to be though. The teachers tell you to be what you want to be. Your parents encourage you to reach for the stars. Unless of course, they are realistic, in which case they subtly point you towards being a lawyer or businessman. They don’t tell you the difficult days when you have nothing to do but play on partycasino.com or avoid doing exercise.
