Ohhhh I love love love the little guy at the top - so beautiful.
You are an artist- and it doesn't matter where you are at in your journey- as long as you keep producing work, then you are an artist. And producing new pieces is the only way to get better. I too am working towards that - trying to work and improve and get known for what I do. Sure there are plenty of people out there who are better than me. But hey, we just keep working, right?
