An Anxious Introduction to the Steemit Community...

Hi Steemians!

Thank you for joining me on this new adventure!! I am The Anxious Amazon, but my real name is Kyle. Feel free to call me either.

I am a 6ft tall anxious, agoraphobic, artist living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I was invited to join Steemit by my amazing friend Hive account@carazozula who regularly astounds me with her art and inspires me to create as much as I can. She also inspired me to be a little EXTRA and stitch the intro in my photo.

As you may have guessed from the picture, I love to embroider and cross stitch. I am mostly self taught and have been branching out from cross stitch lately and into more freehand embroidery. Here are some more examples of my recent work...

I have also been known to do some photography and model on occasion. My work ranges from event and concert photos to fashion and art photography. My work has even been published a few times, which is still a little surreal to me.

I haven't been doing as much photography lately, but I am hoping that this community can inspire me to create more in the year(s) to come. I might even model more, which I rarely do, but secretly love. Runway is my favorite, which can only be topped with projects like this one where I was styled with the John Waters film "Female Trouble" in mind...

My other obsessions run the gamut from true crime and serial killers to the cute and kawaii. I'm also a little obsessed with my dog because he's super rad. His name is Hachi and he is a Shiba Inu. Yup, the doge dog.

I feel like this is way too long already, but who am I if I am not too much? It's kinda my thing. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Just ask!

I can't wait to meet more creative weirdos on this site.
