Ever since I was little I always loved to paint. I had kind of decided that I wanted to go into a career in art. For the longest time I wanted to be an animator. Even now as that idea has slowly disappeared, I still love to paint. I have other dreams now, but painting is still a dream in a way.
One of the biggest forms of flattery is someone liking something you created so much that they would want to buy it. I would love to experience that one day. I don’t know when it came to my mind, but one day I decided no matter what I end up doing I’m still going to paint. Even just for me. It’s a very relaxing hobby that takes my mind off of other things. I would absolutely love for some random stranger that I have never met before to ask to buy one of my paintings. I absolutely find joy in my artwork. I paint a lot based on how my emotions are. If I’m in a good mood, my artwork shows it. It also includes a lot of my hyperfixations at the time, such as my interests and stuff like that. Right now my art style has been on the more silly side. Currently I’m painting my reflection in a giant spoon, but it looks really funny because it does not even look like me. I have also always had a more cartoonish style. Realism is not my thing. You don’t see a lot of people who are interested in my art style.
I used to post a lot of my artwork on social media and I did have someone once ask to buy one of them. I said no because the art piece really wasn’t great and I did not want them to waste their money. I also just was not interested in selling at the time. But one day I would like to actually sell some work.
I also still think that it would be cool to work for Disney one day. I always loved Disney. Anyone who knows me, knows what Disney means to me. Whether I work with their animation team or just as a cast member in the parks I would absolutely love to do that. My parents have always supported me no matter what I set my mind to (which has been a lot). They always will try to help me live my dreams. In my house I have a whole bin filled with canvases and paint. I used to paint all the time in my spare time, now I really just do it during school, which is fine. I still like to do it. I really don’t believe selling a painting of mine is a very hard dream to do, but who knows it could be a lot harder than it looks.
