"Pieces of my mind 2" Beanie

One size fits all

Art to me is a means of escape, a way to bring peace to mind. I first knew I wanted to draw at a young age, my cousin Barney drew a Chester cheetah and I thought at the time that was the greatest. Thing I saw him draw Batman, Superman, and other superhero’s that gave me the drawing bug. I would trace my coloring book pages and color those, then when I was 14 years old I free handed the album art from Korn’s follow the lender and it looked like the album art I was very proud of this piece but it’s been lost over the past 20 years. I’ve never had formal art training. The gift I have is God given. I used to keep all my work now I give it away. It gives me joy to hear “I bought a frame and hung the drawing you sent on my wall”. Blows my mind people like my art. I started out using pencil, learned how to shake and blend. Then moved on to pen and colored pencils as my media. I have tried painting but do not have much practice at it. I am not Bob Ross. I try to draw something each day or at least once a week. When we are born, we are like a new sheet of paper; that sheet of paper is our lives. We draw on this sheet and try to produce a worthy design to the best of our untrained abilities. As we grow, we make many mistakes, we erase and redraw lines. At some point, we stand back and look at this sheet of paper and it doesn’t seem to be the art we thought it would be. We get frustrated and think of giving up but sometimes we are given a brand new sheet of paper to replace the old worn out piece. My friend Jesus is the giver of this new sheet, he guides our hand when we make mistakes. He uses his eraser, he has a tree that produces an endless suplly of brand new paper for all of those who wants a sheet. He will help you create a master piece of your life. To him, I give all credit for my talent. Thanks for the opportunity to submit my artwork and the platform to speak of what art has been for me..
