From the moment we’re thrown into this world, we’re fated to bring each other nothing but pain and misery. 😈

I FINALLY SHOT PSYCHO MANTIS last night! This might have been the hardest shot I’ve ever set up between the rain, lighting equipment, tripod set up, lighting smoke bombs, lightbulbs smashing TWICE and actually wearing a gas mask. BUT WORTH IT! Any MGS fans out there?! I see you... better swap the controller into slot two...

A few people know how far I have really come but most see where my work and company is now and don’t think about what it took to get here. I went from solely designing local band’s Myspace layouts to designing album art, shirts and more merchandise for world renowned acts. I went from making jewelry out of quarters to releasing full seasonal clothing lines. Working shows every weekend selling my products (that I am a little embarrassed to look back at hehe) to having it be my full time career. I think people do not realize how much work goes into making something happen and actually achieving your goals. It has been such a long road of work, learning, troubleshooting, failure, and success and it truly is crazy to look back to where it all began. When you are true to yourself, and work for something you love, nothing can stop you; not illness, lack of schooling, lack of money etc... We are so lucky to live in an age where anything is possible. I am so beyond grateful that my journey has lead me to this point and that so many people have supported me through it; thank you for allowing me to create and express myself the only way I know I can. Sometimes you need to stop looking uphill and look downhill at how far you've come. Happy 10 years @koalaartdesign and Happy 4 years full-time, let's dowit! 🎉😛❤️! #10year #throwback #designer #anniversary #artwork #merchdesign #banddesign #jamiekoala #startedfromthebottom #entrepreneur #young #longroad #hardwork #vendor #lifelessons #koalaartdesign #koalaartanddesign
