I like to call myself an artist.
I've been drawing since before I can remember. I didn't draw very well at the time. But I have gotten better since then.

Early on in life, I wanted to make videogames, but coding was too much for my little brain, so I dedicated my time on learning to design and create characters.

I spent a lot of time working to become a concept artist for games, but was never able to go to college for art. So I tried many ways to get an income as an artist. *insert joke on how artists are poor here*

I still think my art is not as good as I want it to be. I believe I could have been so much better if I had dedicated my art in different ways, and now I'm caught in-between a bunch of different artistic skill sets, never being too great at any of them. 

I had a choice. become a cartoonist, or sell my soul and do furry commissions, which was a tempting offer.
I made the morally correct decision. It also happened to be the financially bankrupt one. Now I attempt to make funny comics.

Now when people laugh at my art, it will be intentional.
