I have no sob story to tell. Life gets hard for everyone at some point along the way. When those times present themselves to me I just ite my lip and work my way through it one way or another. I never saw the use in complaining to someone else about my problems... everyone has their own to deal with. I am an aspiring young artists trying to find my place in this competative art world. I am currently enrolled at the Art Institute Online and pursueing my bachaelors degree in graphic design. It took me three years of community college before I finally figured out what I really wanted to do. I have realized that all along my true passion has been art.



Due to sickness and unemployment, I was forced to move back in with my parents and make myself at home in the guest room. Sometimes food is scarce when you live in a house with 7 people... so I'm sure my parents would love alittle extra cash from me. This contest sure would help out alot. If nothing else at least my work gets seen and I can get some feedback on it.



I have chosen to include some work I have done while attending my online college as well as some photoshop art I just did for fun on my own time. Please give it a look and let me know what you think... good or bad. I am really just starting out compared to most people here. All of my entries should be in the Digital Art catagory.



Thanks for the contest and best of luck to everyone here. You all are extremely talented. Keep it up everyone!
