Collection of my work from 2015

Im here to say thank you to everyone!

I just turned 27 years old today. And for all who know my work , will remember that my life goal was set to 26! I was living the dream the last year! Because my goal was achieved!

When i was 17 years old i started art school and from a very early age i understood that to achieve greatness you need to sacrifice a lot. And it needs to be build on dedication and repeated failure . I was drawing what i would consider lot for a 17 year old one - but that was far from enough.

And at the age of 19 i started Collage ( art degree ) and gave my self a unrealistic challenge that i was going to do no matter what.

The challenge was to draw, tattoo, airbrush, paint a pic per day no matter what. It was many hard years of work . I tried everything possible and pushed my own bounders far to many times to a point where i would get sick. When my wrist started hurting from to much drawing i used my left hand to draw instead ( i felt like no excuses could or should stop my path ). When i could not draw because of what ever reason i felt incredibly bad, almost sick because i thought i was missing out. There was no time to be wasted.
Countless hours spend creating , copying ,modifying ,erasing , building and repeating the process over and over again. I was like a sponge, sucking in what ever when ever i could learn about my craft. Taking the ideas of other people and improving them/ changing them and adding my process to them.

If someone worked hard, i would work even harder. If someone would take a break i would use that time to push my self even further.

So my goal was to become a good/ great artist at the age of 26 and to be well know / famous in a way. Well i guess i can say i did it. If you look at all of my social media they are booming with thousands and hundred of thousands of followers. People from all over the world are thanking me for all the advice im sharing and inspiration im giving. Everyone is trying to get a original drawing from me - it has come to a point where i dont have the time to reply to 9/10 mails i get.

To be honest if feels great , it feels like a huge boulder has been removed from my shoulder. So even if i have reached my goal im still going strong and pushing my self even more then before. I got a huge drive and a incredible huge competing instinct that does not allow me to stop.

Writing this as a thank you and as a insight to all the kids who dream about being an artist. Its hard and not very rewarding for years. You will not get good over night . You will need to build your foundation first and construct your dream one brick at the time.

Work with understanding and a critical eye. Work with a passion and a goal in mind. And maybe one day if you have worked hard enough you will be here where i stand now.

I still have a lot to learn my self, but at this point i feel that no mountain is hard to climb and no top is unreachable. I got a solid and huge foundation that i can continue building on.

Once again thank you for all of your wonderful support and all the great feedback that i got during all of these years.

Last year i did a huge composition of my work called : Evolution of my art :

You can see how my art evolved during the years ( 8 -25 )

And also here are 100 questions that are art related that i have answered :
