life happens for a reason

Well hello there everyone! I'm back! Yay! I had alot of fun on my mini getaway!


While I was at the beach I was given the chance to meet some very wise older women (like my great-grandma's age...80s), I'm not knocking any of my close friends and family who have had my back through everything, but to have these two look me in the eyes and say flat out: You have the drive, you have the talent...you're going to do very well.


It made me very happy. I'll admit, sometimes I don't believe what people tell me (that know me) because I feel like it's usually said to get me to shut up. But know I understand that, most people are like me....lying takes alot more effort than the truth...and my friends and family wouldn't lie to me.


So if I sucked...they sure as heck would tell me...in a nice way.


I think I'm finally at the point where I'm ready to get on with my life...it also can be called growing up..which I try to do a little of from time to time. 


I'm stoked about my new ventures....that tiny light has become a huge opening and I'm stepping through.


All of this being said, I will be diving head first into my work. I will be opening my online store by October (at the LATEST). I will be selling my own designs, reworked vintage clothing, vintage clothing, and possibly...artwork as well. 


I'll say it here first, I am currently working my way to opening a stand alone store selling what I'll be selling in my online store. I would like to have this done...well started in the next few years. 


Extremely excited, the Lord has put me through pain and sadness, only because 1. He knew I could get past it and 2. Without trials...one cannot enjoy the good times in life.


This is an extremely good time, even if yeah I don't have a job nor do I have alot of money, but creativity is flowing and I'm going to create like crazy....it's what I do!




To everyone that has helped me through good and bad times (you know exactly who you are), I thank you with my whole heart.


Now! Day 29 of 365! This is a sketch I did for a client...it's a preliminary sketch thus why I'm sharing it with you all.  




I'm pretty excited about this project. It's the first time I'll be actually making artwork like this....I don't know why I haven't done it before. Ah well.

Till next time suckas

Peace
