My dream come true!
Many would say that I am living the dream! What dream? The dream of being FREE! I work but only when I feel inspired. I sleep when ever I feel like napping! I don't have a 9 to 5 job! I stay up all night and sleep away the morning! I have a BOSS and that's ME!
I am a full time artist and I doodle for a living!
I always enjoyed drawing! It was the only thing I did at school! Okay, I did learn some other stuff as well but it was my favorite class. I also went to school to learn marketing and because I wanted to dive into the commercial drawing side of life, I followed classes about those things as well. I am pretty good in promoting others.... ((Sign)) I suck at promoting myself! I think that has always been my biggest problem.
You see, deep down inside, I am a pretty shy person. I want to be in shadows, behind the curtains while others step into the light.
While I learned to be among humans... ((Stop laughing)) I am still fighting the battle!
To shine, I have to step into the light and embrace the attention that comes with it! Like many other artists, I also have the following struggle. I like all art made by others even if it's just a stick puppet! But when I look at my own work.... HELL! I started to share my art online after I joined Steemit many years ago. I guess before that, I was too scared to show the world what I loved!
Now, so many years later, I share a lot of my work without thinking. I don't mind if people don't like my work either. I learned a lot from online posting! This is also the reason I am posting on Hive! To find an audience, make friends and also to find other amazing artists!
Mynew struggle is setting up my own studio. Or building it I must say! And this is why I am glad I found 
Did I mention that I created a free mini library with my studio? The idea behind it is not new. We have a lot of them here in the Netherlands. Mine crashed! All over the floor! You see, I am building everything in my studio from old stuff! Not because I don't have the money to buy new stuff btw. I just hate waste! Why not use something old and give it a second or third life! However... Sometimes I scratch myself behind my ears and scream : WHYYYY!
On the picture above you see my desk area. The shelfs are third hand, the desk is second hand and I got it all for FREE! Lucky that did not crash yet! I will show more pictures when it starts to become something! My goal is to sell more of my own art and to work towards illustrating a book! I am entering some illustration contest in hopes to get a job! Next to that I am forcing people to watch my work even if they don't want to! That's a joke of course! No, it's not but that's ok!
Anyways, this is me and this is why I am a Hive Hustler!
