But you guys don't understand I am creating maps of my world, I am developing new kinds of cultures, createing stories from these cultures, produceing illustrations of this world. Everything I do is all original work from me. Its going from my head onto paper and thats what counts. My friends that takes a lot paitients and talent.

I am not worried on wether I will get my stories and illustrations published and sold to clients. I simply want to it and I am going to do it. I am a free lance artist and writer and its basically my lifes work. I want to build my career from this. I have been working my myth for almost 5 years now. It started out as a Science fiction epic now its a little bit of both worlds. Science Fiction and fantasy.

Have you ever read the book "The Wheel of Time." There is another inspiration for me. One of my favorite things to do as an artist is to go to borders, order myself a cup of coffie, and take an art book off the self and just skim the books at the awesome work done by others. And I would spend by myself a few hours at Borders just simply sitting down and reading and looking at the work done by others. If your going into comercial art or Illustration such as I, I do recomend you do that. Just constantly look at books and use what you looked at in books for your advantage as an artist to produce your own work. As artist we are visual communitcaters. We communicate visually. Its more than sitting at a table and makeing pretty pictures. You have to know how to write, speak, research, and be real real observant of detail around you. People have ideas and there all neat but a selected few actually go and create their worlds. I don't want to sound like I am bragging here or anything but I feel I am one of those selected few thankyou very much!
