Journey of an Absolute Rookie

In 2002, I realized my office job wasn’t for me—I wanted something more. With no prior experience, I made the decision to pursue art and began posting everything I created on a website called ConceptArt.org. At first, my progress was unremarkable, but as I improved, people took notice. Before long, my blog was drawing so much traffic that the site had to dedicate a separate server just to keep it from crashing. My journey, from complete beginner to professional artist, became an example of how daily practice and perseverance can lead to mastery. Eventually, my story was featured in The Creative Curve by Allen Gannett, where he explored the science behind creativity and skill development.
