So after ages of neglecting any artistic qualities I actually happened to have, I seem to have found a muse. I had a big think about WHY oh WHY I would push something that made me so happy, that opened up doors in my imagination and just felt "nice", to the back of my life. I finally realised it was all about self-acceptance and criticism. You're so afraid to fail or fall short of your ideal self that you never even bother to try. I know I'm probably never going to be as amazing as some of the FANTASTIC people that submit their work here, but I'm sure as hell going to try.

It took a long time to convince myself I didn't need the classes, the fancy pens, the expensive moleskines and all the other tit'n'tat that I thought were going to magically transmute me into my ideal artist. It's all bollocks. There's no reason for me (or anyone) to postpone creating. If it doesn't come out as you wanted, so what? Tear it up and make it a part of something new, something even better. Take the leap, keep trying, put down your thoughts and images into the physical world. Screw what you think anyone else will say or even what they actually do. Critics are overrated.

In summary, the time is nigh to jump up and do what we never thought we could do.

Lookout for some terrible sketches. Promise. <3
