Honestly?

I don't think I ever really desired to dominate or profit from my creativity, so much as I wanted to live in a liberal environment that harbors and fosters creativity from open minded people in a creative community and local culture. Be it an art college, convention, The Googleplex, or an animation studio, any place or laid back, quiet, friendly environment where I can relax, hang out, and draw around other artists is really all I've ever wanted to do and where I've always wanted to be. It just feels right. I just like being there. I don't have that environment in my life now, but I miss the time when I actually did and had that privilege.

I went to art school in Ft. Lauderdale temporarily, where I lived quite comfortably in a dormitory, and have fond memories of that environment, but it was short lived when I was forced to drop out for having a nervous breakdown, due to my inability at the time to figure out how to deal with the stress of a rapidly changing lifestyle. Well, that and I had just broken up with my newly discovered first real girlfriend who I met there. I mean, really. I'm not one to brag, but while I WAS in a Ft. Lauderdale Art School, for the year of 2002, for a short time I was KIND OF the most popular student in the entire school...It didn't last though.

I've always wished I could do it all over, but my drawing skills were never good enough to get me into the famous schools.

Because I am ALL ABOUT the REAL creative community (NOT the fake one).
