THE STORY

People are amazing creatures.

They have a unique capacity for change. They can acquire knowledge, skills and traits over the course of their life and develop into something that is a far cry from who they were before.

I was hesitant to draw an illustration of myself. But at the end of the day;

I'm one of the best known examples I know intimately that exemplifies this.

I was a homeschooled, socially awkward, orthodox christian cherry boy for the majority of my youth and a bit beyond. But when I decided to chase a wild and crazy dream on the far side of the world, it meant throwing myself into that world head first without any real preparation as to what it entailed.

I learned a lot. I was forced to shift and adapt to an environment that felt like it was consistently in flux.

I also picked up a couple of vices. I learned that not everyone is to be trusted, and that this world is one trip or tumble away from you falling into a hole that you're going to have to scrape like hell to get out of.

I grew a backbone. I learned to hold my beliefs tight. I learned the meaning of hard work, of excellence, and of true, ride-or-die friendship.

I also learned what it means to keep getting up, no matter how many times you get knocked back down to ground zero.

I may have drawn myself as the center piece for this illustration, but I want this design to be a memento to the one's who evolved.

The one's who threw themselves in the fire, took the heat, and reforged themselves into the entity they needed to become to face the path they've chosen.

So this one's to you, brothers and sisters in arms.

Hold your chin up high. You're a real one.
