"What do you want to be when you grow up?" I can't even remember what my answers were when I was a kid. Now that I'm all grown up, I have known what I wanted to do and what my passion was for years. People may say, "dang, you so lucky!" but I did not have the courage and discipline to make it happen. Knowing it and living it are two completely different things. I want to create, do it every single day, and make a living from my creations/artworks. Creations sound like I'm creating a Frankenstein, so let's go with artworks. All it took was a world pandemic to make it happen. I had the time to be still, to tune in, and to listen to myself. This has been an eye opening journey. It has scared the living poop out of me. The uncertainties, the vulnerability to be seen, the courage it takes to show up everyday, not being able to draw a straight line, not being able to start for fear of failure had been my self limiting beliefs for some time. I had to dive in head first while it's steaming hot to make this happen. I know what I create is not perfect nor will they ever be; I just have to keep reminding myself, I create for myself and I create for fun. This is the beginning of my journey. I am teaching myself art whilst selling my artworks on #RedBubble (and more stores in the future). Now I am proud to call myself an artist, a creator. All it takes is one sale, then I become a professional artist HA! All jokes aside, I am so excited for launching Tom Poodleston! So, what do you want to be when you grow up? https://www.instagram.com/p/CKlH6MBFbZc/?igshid=1fter3l7sf2pb
