I'm am amateur manga artist that found his love in drawing starting on August 29, 2005. Everything before that time, I never found interest. (In fact, I hated drawing because it was so boring during the time.)

Throughout my years in the art field, I've had my ups and downs, getting many put downs in my life (especially from my high school teacher) telling me that I should not pursue this path because I wasn't great at drawing.

Despite those setbacks, I pressed on.

But because of my long held determination in this path I've chosen, I'm rewarded with people who love my work and support me though and through, and in the end, I was blessed with a wonderful girlfriend, , who to this day, inspires me to continue drawing more so than I ever could imagine.

Despite my improvement over the course of time, I still see myself as an amateur in comparison to many denizens of DA (and especially Pixiv), therefore, I still wish to improve.

In the long run however...my one true goal is to be an inspiration to all hardworking artists out there, and to show everyone out there that you don't have to be a genius or had to have started drawing during your ages of youth.

To those who do wish to improve as an artist, here's my advice to you:

As long as you stay honest, patient and optimistic...anything is reachable.

Be proud of who you are, and what you do; keep your head up, and strive forward.

And to always remember this:

There is no such thing as perfection in the world...only experience.
