About the artist
Member since 2010-02-26
Hi, there.
I'm pretty new to this, so here goes.....
I've been drawing pencil sketches since i was a kid, but never really took my art seriously. Only recently when i turned 40 did i realise i had something that could grow into......well, lets see what i achieve.
I want to share my art with the world to see if it is acceptable to people. My friends and family say i have talent, but i want to get a world opinion. Always wondered if people would buy my art, so we'll see if i'm up to sctatch?
I've had no formal art tuition, but i like to create pictures with my hands; mostly i copy pictures from various sources, but sometimes i do originals. Drawing takes me away from the sometimes cruel and harsh world we live in and puts me in that special place. I believe all artists have such a place.
