This past month has proven that as long as you stick to something, and have a positive outlook on it, you can achieve anything.
For 6 years I struggled to get my name as an artist known among other people, clothing companies, bands, etc.. And I always got the short end of the stick. Getting called a rip off, unoriginal, and other harsh things, and as much as it brought me down, I never gave up. I stuck with it because it was my dream to become a well known artist.
And after all the time I've spent locked in my studio trying to get recognized, its finally happened. Within a month, my art got noticed by one very well known artist, and after that it all took off. Ive been selling work to bands that I've been listening to since I was a kid. Ive got to have awesome conversations with the very people that inspired me to become an artist, and on top of all that, I got an apprenticeship at the best tattoo and body piercing shop in my state, and I couldn't be happier with the direction my life is going in, and I just want to say thank you to all the people that have supported me, inspired me, and never told me that I couldn't make it.

I'm not trying to boast or brag, I just want to inform all the kids that are down on themselves and want to give up on their dreams, that they WILL come true. Anything is possible with a positive outlook and perseverance. Just stick with it, and don't give up hope. It will happen, I promise.
