Hello fellow deviants!
I've been here a while now so have decided to take advantage of what DA has to offer and join some groups. Starting to make some friends on here and really get inspired b all the fantastic artists on here. It really is amazing the creativity that exists out here.
I am a 32 year old queer guy, living in Atlanta Ga. I have a partner and a BF, a dog and 2 cats. I have a formal education in horticulture and working on a degree in holistic medicine (first in herbalism and second in nutrition). I don't have an education in art or design other than my landscape rendering classes, but have always loved to draw and really just never stopped.
Pagan by birth and practice.
Most of my inspiration comes from my dreams. I am a lucid dreamer and often remember my dreams. And most of my dreams are influenced by my upbringing, my complex relationships, spirituality and dealing with challenges in my life, past and present.
My style is mostly layered illustration in pen and ink. Been experimenting with watercolor and gouache so any insight in that department is appreciated.
I love hearing people's thoughts. I am still fairly new to all this but very excited to be here.
