About a year ago I had no idea what i wanted to do. Rewind further back, and in december of 2012, Andrew Bagoly asked me to help him with a music project of his, along with some other friends. I was supposed to provide some artwork for him, and it got the wheels turning slowly. After reading fight club in february of 2013, and listening to We Want Your Soul one too many times, i somehow (dont know the correlation) decided that maybe art was a good avenue for whatever it is in me that wants to be (for lack of a better term) f**king awesome. Who doesnt want to be f**king awesome? Maybe people who get complacent like I had been prior to Andrew contacting me. 90% of people I know want to be the best at what they do, which is completely insane, yet also, completely normal, I think. If youre in that 90% with me, and you want to rule the world, and eat the best goddamn food, and work hard, and visit every cool ass place there is, and have a yellow lamborghini or something, heres the best thing Ive learned so far that might help you. Before I say it, I have by no means reached success yet, but im pretty damn sure I never will had I not adopted this: just do it. just do it. dont dance around or make excuses. This is something i learned years ago in boxing, but couldnt even grasp at the time. Oh i havent been feeling too motivated lately, so I haven been showing up. Guess what? Theres some asshole in there who hasnt been motivated either, but hes been showing up, and now this bum is kicking my ass and making my small asian nosebridge even tinier. Show up, thats half the battle. If you dont do it, youre not getting any better. If you do it even when you dont feel like it, youre getting better. Youre showing up to work like its your profession. so are you a professional? or an amateur? inspiration is for amateurs said painter Chuck Close, and hes a badass mofo I know what I want to do now. In highschool I just sat around tried to draw hot girls that wouldnt go out with me, and im doing basically the same thing now. Yeah im expanding my horizons a little bit but what Im saying is; if you fantasized about flying a plane all day or studying up on aerial shit, and amelia airheart and whatever, dont try to be a lawyer. get a job, get money, i know ill have to, but dont get a career in somewhere that doesnt suit you. im young and have no credibility to be giving advice, but I see too many people now at the pivotal points, and they have no control over their lives. oh i just went to school, took some random courses, brought me to this, and then over to this. okay fine, experiment. but have some control. put your hands on the wheel a little bit, and maybe one day itll be the wheel of a yellow lamborghini like mine
