Aside from keeping busy and trying to get out some new designs, it’s been a rough few days personally for me. I’ve been having some trouble with my confidence and believing in myself. Usually I try not to share my personal life here on the blog, but I want to show you guys that I am human, first and foremost. I hurt and I go through things. In the end, it inspires me to be a better artist, person, and soul. Since I’ve been struggling for a little while with my confidence, I decided to do what I did with the Strength drawing and create one for the word “confidence”. This process was very emotional for me, considering my struggle with confidence but I will say that this was a good way for me to release a lot of tension and also have a little fun with some sharpies and pencils. I love how my life struggles can make for great designs and meaningful artwork. I hope I’m able to help someone break out of their shell and if I can’t I’m still glad I was able to come out of mine a little.

Hi there, I too suffer from low confidence and have done all my life. I think ultimately creative people deal with their inner-most feelings by creating whatever art forms they can, it soothes their turbulent souls. I’m very grateful to all those who have created art from their inner turmoil which continues to inspire me.
