My grandfather used to say: you try on enough shoes, you’ll find a pair that fits you. Well, I’m here to testify that I found my pair, and I’ve never taken them off. My story, like any story worth hearing, is about a girl, but not in the way you might think. When I was ten years old, I drew my first female. It looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger with long hair. To this day, that image haunts me. After that, I devoted my time and energy into drawing figures, specifically the female form. Since I have chosen an immensely competitive field of business, my work will be competing against some of the best artists in the world. And quite frankly, I love the challenge. I chose this life. I know exactly what I’m doing. And on any given day I could stop doing it. Today; however, is not that day. And tomorrow won’t be either.
