Gaming since i got my Master System in 1990s going on 2000.
Always Loved to draw and been drawing since I was young. Took art in college and school but didn't do well due to my dyslexia (Difficult learner) but chose to do Business up until now for future reasons

I've been a learning how to do artwork alone with the help of my mother/sister who both are artistic (Runs in the family). I’m more of a Traditional art At the moment (By the Power of Erasers!) But I still Wish to take my artwork to the next level by learning how to digitally line/color my artwork.

Becoming a better artist is my goal - So after doing International Business I Will settle down and do some Art courses~
(Its Tough out there , so Business studies will help me in the future But i will NEVER stop drawing)

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 27, 2013, 1:21 PM
Been talking to my good friend :iconmike-oliveras:  a Fellow Artist and Blazblue player. Shout outs to D Drive~

Been talking about what i want to do in the future and how I'm going to to go about doing it.

Some background history - I did Art since i was young but stopped around college due to me being afraid of my future because i heard art qualifications (back then) were hard to use for a living. So i took the route of Business in college then went to University and studied(still studying) International Business.

Now I'm in my final semester of Int.Business and want to go take a serious  art course that I can become a better artist. I love artwork but me having dyslexia has always been a small issue (it can be over).

So i wish to take a graphic design or graphic media course that will not only help me become a better artist but allow me to expand on my ideas or help me pull ideas out of my mind.

I take my art seriously, i try to improve as much as possible as a self taught artist - i still practice up to this day but i think its time to take a leap and work on my prestige and reputation starting from after i finish International Business - I'm not getting any younger.  

And with International Business on my CV - i think the world is my oyster as long as i can take my opportunities by the horns starting from Now.

Any Comments / Advise would greatly be appreciated.  My friend has given me a realistic idea of what I'm getting myself in to and all i have to say is  "NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY" , So i better get to work from Now.

Thanks much for the fave. I read your journal, and I think you've done the pretty smart choice of having your Business education as your main focus as you sharpen your artist's edge on the side. As you've said (and I think that it's still true even today), applying an art degree in today's market can get you some limited options, so it's good you have something to fall back on. I hope you build your skills enough to the point where you're satisfied enough that if you DO decide to pursue the art path full throttle, then you can do so without hesitation. Either way, I wish you luck on your quest, chum.

...sheesh. This is the longest I've replied to anyone...in a WHILE. But I DO mean it, however word-y it may seem. But YES. Thanks again, ZakOnestar!

Again thanks Smashems - I can use my business skills with art work if i ever pursue marketing artwork and etc.

Just gona keep working hard. Even with all the things holding me back. Full throttle !
