Background

So hi. You're here and that's cool. Welcome. If you know me already and you're just here because you want to support me that's awesome but you already know most of what this is about today. For everyone else, this first post is just to explain the whole Artist in Progress thing. I've been drawing and painting and creating since I was very young. Did I have inner demons then? Yeah I think I did. They weren't anything like the monsters I battle now but I think seeing all of my cousins kiss my dead grandfather at the funeral home at age 5 could be considered a demon. I think seeing my first ghost when I was around the same could be thought of as  something a little off too. I didn't have a picture perfect childhood. My dad moved up the corporate ladder very quickly. Every time he got a promotion, we moved. We moved around 11 times by the time I graduated high school - 5 states. I was always the new kid (another demon). Throughout my childhood up into my teens I would draw constantly and I wrote a shitload of poetry to cope with being new, being shy, being ugly. Books and books of each. Into my adulthood and up til now, I've always considered myself an artist. And that's what this blog will be about...what has brought me to this point and where I'll go from here.  I look so sweet don't I? Don't let looks fool you.
