What advice do you have for someone who wants a job like yours?

I'm currently unemployed, but if someone is wanting to be an artist, I think the most important thing is to stick with it, not matter how hard it gets sometimes. The people who succeed at being an artist, only succeeded because they gritted thier teeth and pushed through the financially tough times and made thier art work a priority on top of a passion.

How would you describe your time at University of Brighton, Eng...?

I did a study abroad program with the University of Brighton during my time at the art institute. During this time I learned how to act quickly on my feet, and became extremely self relient. I backpacked alone through Europe, though I did not know any of the languages of the countries I visited. This forced me to become excellent at communicating with people working around a barrier. I was completely independent during this time, and because of this I am a very strong individual when it comes to setting my own goals and holding myself to them and meeting them.... read more
