I wish I could tell you that this was just for laughs...

This concept popped into my head the other day. 

This pretty much sums up my life as an artist. Don't get me wrong,  I love it and wouldn't change a thing. However it's extremely difficult some days and I have to try hard to keep the negative thoughts and self doubts away.

Let me start off by saying that I am well aware that this is NOT tumblr.

I started a tumblr account with the shared artist mentality of getting your work out there using as many social platforms as possible. I know that in the art world, and in this modern, internet-driven world in general, that one is never enough when it comes down to displaying your artwork online. Hence the tumblr.

I had originally started which just a blogspot account about five years ago, not thinking or knowing what I was in for, if I ever was going to keep up with it, or if anybody would even find it worth visiting on a more than once basis. 

To my surprise and delight, people followed, stopped by, and even recommended this here blog to friends and fellow artists alike.

I honestly wish that as you read this, you could feel my genuine gratitude and appreciation for you loyalty, support, and love. It's because of you guys and gals, and my passion for cartoons and drawing, that I keep at this. I love blogger, its design, and community and will continue to use it.

So thank you. Thanks for continuing to check in, support, and comment. Blogger is where I first jumped off and its proven more successful than tumblr or any other avenue I have walked down.

THANK YOU!!!

(be on the look-out for more of this guy. I'm going to start writing comics and am thinking about using him as the lead character!)

  

Slapped some color on him. Attempting to use different color choices.
