But, big fun and hell of an experience

hihi well I wish to be a full time artist! I've got a wife, 2 kids (one heavy autistic, so very time consuming) and a full time job. Painting is just a hobby to keep my mind from collapsing (I hope to make 4 to 5 paintings a year)
I didn't go to an artschool so can't join official artist communities... but if you can do it! I just ask bars, restaurants and public places if I may show my work. When you have an exhibition write the local newspaper... It's all about networking Most important: Keep making art the way you like it!

Hi Hemali,

How are you? I wish you all the best for 2010
The 'tank' project was all done from a little sketch in my scrapbook. And if I was at one end I couldn't see the other side
Every time I moved the crane backwards to see what I was doing It was a great challenge
Thanks for your comment!
