A bit about me.
Almost five years ago a friend posted one of my artworks on reddit and it hit the front page. I had no idea what reddit was at the time, but I suddenly had huge interest in my artwork and a massive amount of support from the community. I followed it up with an article about how my painting progressed over the years which went even more viral online and was picked up by a huge number of media outlets worldwide.

The Follow Up and a bit of a summary of what happened: http://ift.tt/1JfEkJU
During all those years I was working as working in a big corporate conglomerate in their financial insurance arm (blegh) but earning well while painting on the side. Despite a healthy promotion and the security that came with the job, I decided to quit almost exactly two years ago and pursue art full time…and it has turned out more than ok!
I’m now happier than I have ever been, eating moderately premium ramen, and have my first international solo exhibition happening in Nov!
