Raffle by Mischavie

While it might not seem too big a deal to some, I passed the 500 mark on Instagram! It was a pleasant surprise, and I'm personally SO VERY THANKFUL. To celebrate, I'm holding a raffle! Not sure how many people would be interested in a chance to win a drawing from me, but if you are, check out my instagram post on how to enter here: www.instagram.com/p/Bf6lQrLAl0…

Hey there!

For those of you who don't know me, I've been on DeviantART for more than a decade. In that time, I've produced very little art, and there is an explanation for this. Put simply, it goes something like this:

When I was younger, I thought I would pursue art. However, I ultimately decided against it for lack of confidence in my abilities and for fear of monstrous debt. Instead, I endeavored to study a different major that I believed (at the time) would be more lucrative. I ended up going to a University to study English. I eventually graduated and have since been working in the field as a professional copywriter. Along the way though, I came to the realization that I abandoned what brought me the most happiness, which has always been the visual arts.

I have been very fortunate nonetheless because the universe keeps giving me little signs to get back into it. People have been receptive to my capability as a freelance artist, and I even secured a position with a small publisher as their primary graphic designer. These little hints have had a profound effect on me, and so I have decided to do a 180-degree turn-around and return to my roots. Thus far, 2018 has been very productive for me (as you would see if you follow my Instagram or Tumblr of the same name), and I am throwing caution to the wind and getting back into art.

There have been too many missed opportunities for growth, but hey—I have nothing left to lose. Here's to hoping that I can catch up with my peers and get better as an artist. So, with that said, cheers to the new year!
