Just joined Steemit and I'm excited to share my art!

Hello, Steemit! I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

It's difficult to think about what I want to do with my life. Simple things like waking up everyday happy and excited for the next challenge that may be thrown my way. I want to live a fulfilling life where my words and actions are respected and my art is appreciated. 

I'm gonna be that sap to admit that my boyfriend @kommienezuspadt inspires me a great deal. I'm not being cheesy and not trying to give him any recognition that he doesn't already deserve! He's absolutely fantastic and we both have similar tastes. I admit that I can kind of be a bully when he asks for my opinion but the best thing about us is that he treats me as his equal. It must be my Aquarius nature when I say that it gets old real fast when everyone tells me that my art is great or that they could do better, the first is a generic response and the later is just rude if you say it aloud. What I need in my life to help me improve is someone that walks beside me and has the courage to admit their insecurities. 

I grew up in a household where everyone on my father's side had some sort of artistic ability and I've always felt this urge to grow and evolve. I'm not sure if it's just the artist in me that makes me critique my artwork so much but it's always been that way. This drive that leads me to stay ahead of the others because I don't want to wake up and find that I've fallen behind someone else's talent. 

I'm self-taught and till this day I'll figure things out by myself until I get it done the way that I want. I'm always open to suggestions but in the end if it doesn't feel natural to me then I'll toss it and start anew. In the next few years I want to challenge myself to take on other art mediums.

I'm a super nerd when it comes to Manga and Anime. I've read/watched too many but below is a quick list of manga that I've completed/still reading and anime that I enjoy and wouldn't mind watching on repeat.

My hope with joining Steemit is to meet like minded people, share my growth and art, and possibly inspire others to push themselves harder in their craft.
