My name is Art… That means I better be good at it!
As you probably already know my name is Art. What’s funny is that when you’re named Art everyone expects you to be good at it. Thankfully for my sake I was/am.
I have always been a good artist and show creativity in everything I do. Art, for me, was an outlet. It allowed me to express myself in a positive way. Starting in 7th grade I began an aggressive art career which culminated in 12th grade by taking AP Art. My desire and dedication in high school to art was marred by a teacher who I didn’t really get along with, but I still stuck it through and got a 4 on my AP portfolio. One class in particular I enjoyed was a computer art course. That was my first exposure to Adobe Photoshop and I immediately saw the potential for what it could offer. Anyway, I mention my art career because it’s still a large part of my life and it’s worth noting.
I still sketch to this day and work with Photoshop nearly every day.
