Having the ability to paint something that has inspired you to create a vision is kind of hard to explain actually. When I start painting something a spark starts to explode within me which causes my brain to go into a zone which helps create my vision and bring it to life. Everything around just stops in time. I never compare myself to other artists because, why copy? Everyone is different in their own way. Everyone creates different things to a certain a degree. When I create art; it's more of a cartoony vibe to it because, I enjoy adding vibrant colors and blending different textures towards my work. I used to take art so seriously when I was younger but then I stopped to play around with film but, then I realized "why should I concentrate with one thing in life where I was put on this earth to do more?" So then I started combining all my talents which made me feel better about myself. One of my close friends actually encourage me to share my talents in certain art classes in high school (s/o to kiwi) and ever since then I've been on Cloud 9. When ever I'm feeling down I always turn to art, photography, and videography to keep me sane. To be honest I used to always pick on my eyelashes when I'm under a lot of pressure or stress (yes teens have stress too for all the adults that think we shouldn't. We're all human) and now I always turn to art to cope with things that are bothering me. Being able to express my creativity is one of the most fulfilling feelings ever. Playing around with colors, textures makes me feel alive inside and I know a lot of artist can agree with this. 
Sometimes, I like to make pieces that involve social issues that I've dealt with over the years; for example with the hair piece shown above, peers at school would always have a tendency to touch my hair whenever I would change it up and it would always bother me. So why not bring that issue and create something that will connect with other people around the world that go through this on a daily basis. I also like to try and switch up my art into a more a realistic painting so I can practice with my blending techniques when it comes to mixing different paint colors together.
Some people are probably wondering why I wrote this post. The reason is, everyone has some type of creative outlet to help cope with something that is bothering them. Another reason is that we should all continue to express or creativity to everyone surrounding us and around the world that enjoys seeing your vision. Why should you hold back on all your talents that god has given me to share to the world? Embrace yourself!
