One Step Closer…

One Step Closer…

I have a feeling I named another post this title but I’m sticking with this one. I’m applying to my first paid art contest. The deadline is in 4 days. I’m going to create a design based on a picture. It’s a picture of an Italian Hoagie. I’m probably crazy for doing this but I have a feeling I should do it. If I don’t win, I know for sure someone will have a chuckle at the colors. I’m going to be bold on this one. The hoagie has almost every vegetable you can think to put on it. Onions, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and oregano… It was yummy. I’m going to highlight every color. Feels strange to talk about a design before I make it. I’m not sure if I’m doing a music video. I should… lol. The transformation of an Italian Hoagie.

I’ve been tossing back and forth with the idea of participating in contests. I can’t keep waiting for the right time. There hasn’t been a right time since my life shattered almost a year ago. I’m following Santiago and going for it. This is my dream. Color is in my bloodstream. The worse they can say is that they don’t like it. But… my name will be out there as a professional artist. It’s one step closer to Paris. One step closer to making this dream work.

I’m getting old. There’s no time like the present to become one with the dream. My birthday is less than a month away. This year can’t be a complete bust.

One step closer to the dream. One step… Even if I don’t make it, at least I can say I fought for it.
