A long road
I have done many things in my life, from custom painting on cars and vans to owning a pool hall. I was painting in the van-in days and won multiple awards for my work. I installed high end automotive stereos for movie stars and their agents. Produced shooting sports for ESPN and cable TV. The list is long on my many businesses, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed except one. Twenty years ago I started doing graphic design which let into building websites. For the first few years it was enjoyable, I was being creative. It however led me into programming which just sapped the artist out of me, but I was stuck. Then I got very ill, my liver was dying. I spent most of 2016/2017 in the hospital. I finally got well enough to get on the liver transplant list and subsequently got a new liver. I am a very lucky man.
Having lost my web business I decided that it was a good thing. It was killing me, albeit slower than my liver. Around May of 2018 I needed to do something, needed to work again. Having been given a new lease on life I decided to find something that would get my creativity back, I needed to enjoy working again, it had been a long time. Enter wood, resin and paint. I look forward every day to design something new. I haven't found my niche yet but every day is a new experience. and am working on being happy again.
I hope you enjoy my work so far, it is all a work in progress. I am happy to be alive.
Thank you,
Yank
