I Gave Up My Career To Raise A Family And To Stay Creative I Started Drawing Miniatures Every Day

ADVERTISEMENT

I wanted to get back to my original passion of drawing that took me to art school. It has been a long road in the opposite direction. I graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design as a Graphic Artist. I worked for many years and truthfully enjoyed very little of it.

I did, however, enjoy my experience as a character animator when I was employed by a video game company! Years have since passed. I gave up this career to raise a family. My creative juices took a back seat. But recently (almost a year ago) I decided to begin drawing. I decided to commit to a year. I am drawing and posting every day except Sundays. I'm almost done!
