I don’t really want anyone using this “exact one” but I have a cool variant that I don’t mind folks using!  You can view it here.

daniellexteig-deactivated201204 asked: I absolutely love your paintings. They are really inspiring to me. It's a lot like the work I wanna do when i'm older haha. What inspired you to do art work? :)

Well I guess most of it is from just always enjoying artwork in general.  I grew up in a household where creativity was something that happend all the time.  Both of my parents are creative types, not just painting but all kinds of hands on building and crafting, so I think it was destiny haha!  Also its a big outlet for me.  I’ve always been a bit socially akward.  I’ve tried being the fun hang out party person in my life but it never quite works out.  People either love me or I seriously rub them the wrong way with my dorky antics. So through my art I’ve found a way to have lots of friends without the akward moments.  It’s strange but I really get along best with other creative folks and people who enjoy art, they kinda get me you know?  So at the end of the day I paint becuase I love panting and the interaction of sharing my work.  I’m almost obsessive compulsive about it.  I’m horrible at sharing everything except for my art.  When I finish a painting sometimes I don’t even sleep for a day becuase I get all excited about what others think about the piece.  But at the end of the day I have so many inspirations I couldn’t even begin to list them, it’s the sharing that really keeps me going.  If you are worried about your style now just keep going, I’ve been painting professionally for about 5 years and only in the past 2 of them have I really felt like I’ve started to define my own style.  So just keep at it and you’ll find your passion!
