2021-6-4 my Journey as a Full time artist has officially begun

[0:00 - 0:01] What's up everybody.
[0:01 - 0:09] I cut this light off pretty quick.
[0:09 - 0:27] I've been doing artwork for pretty much my whole life.
[0:27 - 0:38] Yo and we got the man himself, Clint Johnson, who also is like me, he is a double artist.
[0:38 - 0:39] So shout out to Clint.
[0:39 - 0:40] What's good, brother?
[0:40 - 0:49] Shout out to Clint.
[0:49 - 0:56] Shout out to all the artists out there holding it down, bro.
[0:56 - 1:10] Hey, L.V., you're good, though.
[1:10 - 1:17] But as many of you guys know, I've done these pieces that you see here behind me.
[1:17 - 1:23] All eight of these pieces are going to be in my official shop.
[1:23 - 1:28] I'll let y'all take a look at these right quick.
[1:28 - 1:32] These are all eight pieces that I did over the last three days.
[1:32 - 1:39] I'll bring y'all over here so y'all can see my little makeshift gallery here.
[1:39 - 1:43] Got all eight of these bad boys set up.
[1:43 - 1:54] Let me get this one out as well.
[1:54 - 2:02] But I got all these pieces out, ready to go, man.
[2:02 - 2:07] But as y'all can see, I got all eight pieces out, ready to go.
[2:07 - 2:13] This one right here, up in the far corner, this one that y'all have seen before.
[2:13 - 2:20] This one that I uploaded to the shop for some merch, which is super dope.
[2:20 - 2:32] This one, all these pieces that you see before you are all original, a couple of which I've done live.
[2:32 - 2:36] A couple of pieces which I have done live.
[2:36 - 2:44] Now, I'm not going to name a mistake that I made before and post the link in the chat.
[2:44 - 2:55] Reason why is because people such as Kate are screwing me over.
[2:55 - 3:02] So if you guys do want the link, you guys are going to have to head over to my Discord
[3:02 - 3:06] and email me there or message me there.
[3:06 - 3:13] Or if you have me on Facebook, you can private message me on there or whatever.
[3:13 - 3:17] Reason being because I don't want to risk this shop getting shut down.
[3:17 - 3:22] I'm doing really good. I've already made a couple of sales.
[3:22 - 3:28] And so I'm really trying hard not to let this shop get shut down.
[3:28 - 3:36] If anybody has any questions about whether my art is original, you guys can see right here.
[3:36 - 3:40] All original hand done.
[3:40 - 3:45] So can't nobody sit there and say I don't do original work.
[3:45 - 3:52] I do have an Instagram too where I will be posting daily as well, or at least weekly.
[3:52 - 4:00] I will be uploading some artwork at least every other day or so.
[4:00 - 4:04] The first piece that I have open the shop, I just posted that.
[4:04 - 4:09] I have Psycho Smile. I need to upload that.
[4:09 - 4:14] This weird one right here I need to do still and then all the others I need to upload and post.
[4:14 - 4:22] But as you guys can see, I do have these.
[4:22 - 4:28] Now the original prints will be up for sale at some point.
[4:28 - 4:38] Not sure when, but will be up for sale for $30 and up for all of these right here.
[4:38 - 4:40] Y'all ain't going to be able to buy all of them.
[4:40 - 4:46] I'll sell to each individual person one at a time.
[4:46 - 4:52] If one of y'all wants this one right here, that's $30 and up, $30 and up.
[4:52 - 4:57] You guys will be able to pick up some dope ass canvas prints.
[4:57 - 5:01] Shout out to some of my fans who are helping me out with some of my art supplies.
[5:01 - 5:09] Such as canvases, paint sets, all that good stuff.
[5:09 - 5:20] I'm super excited, man. I'm super stoked to be able to say, "Hey, I get to do this for a living."
[5:20 - 5:32] It's going to be super dope. I'm excited.
[5:32 - 5:38] No, I did not, man.
[5:38 - 5:42] Yo, Brooklyn, what's good, bro?
[5:42 - 5:45] I don't know, Bronx.
[5:45 - 5:47] That is true, man.
[5:47 - 5:54] And that's something that a lot of people need to understand, that a lot of the stuff I do is original.
[5:54 - 6:01] Now, yes, I do what is known as fair use digital artwork.
[6:01 - 6:03] I do fair use art as well.
[6:03 - 6:11] But I'm going to kind of strain away from the fair use art just to kind of get myself out of that mode
[6:11 - 6:19] and back into my hands on stuff like you guys see right here.
[6:19 - 6:23] So, yeah, I'm super stoked.
[6:23 - 6:32] Like other people say, dude, and I'm telling y'all this straight up, as an artist myself, as a professional artist,
[6:32 - 6:37] all my work is original, whether it's fair use done
[6:37 - 6:42] or whether it's hand done like these beautiful pieces that you see before you.
[6:42 - 6:46] And also shout out to Jeff Hardy, who actually liked this piece right here.
[6:46 - 6:50] I actually posted this piece up early this morning,
[6:50 - 6:58] and the man himself, the appreciate the support brother, fucking love that shit.
[6:58 - 7:03] Always happy to see people like Jeff, people I've worked up to, such as Jeff,
[7:03 - 7:07] who actually support what I do and whatnot.
[7:07 - 7:11] So shout out to Jeff for liking the Instagram post.
[7:11 - 7:14] Even though it doesn't really mean much, it means something to me,
[7:14 - 7:21] because like I said, having one of my idols that I grew up watching as a kid be a fellow artist as well
[7:21 - 7:25] and to respect my own work, that's pretty cool, man.
[7:25 - 7:28] So shout out to Jeff, fucking love you, bro.
[7:28 - 7:30] Shout out to your whole family, bro.
[7:30 - 7:33] Shout out to your brother Matt, your family, bro.
[7:33 - 7:35] And also to Matt.
[7:35 - 7:37] Yo, congrats on the new baby girl, man.
[7:37 - 7:39] Super happy for you, bro.
[7:39 - 7:42] So congrats on the new baby girl, Matt.
[7:42 - 7:44] Super happy for you, man.
[7:44 - 7:46] I hope you guys are doing good.
[7:46 - 7:48] I hope your baby girl is doing good as well, man.
[7:48 - 7:52] Hope y'all are staying safe.
[7:52 - 8:02] But shout out to all the artists who are showing love and support towards what I do.
[8:02 - 8:07] I'm super excited to take this journey and do what I need to do with it.
[8:07 - 8:09] And I need to plug in.
[8:09 - 8:10] All right, we're good.
[8:10 - 8:13] Now, I was about to say, do I need to plug in?
[8:13 - 8:18] But nah, we're good.
[8:18 - 8:20] That is very true, man.
[8:20 - 8:24] That's very true.
[8:24 - 8:28] Art is very relaxing.
[8:28 - 8:31] You're not wrong there, Bronx.
[8:31 - 8:36] You're not wrong there at all.
[8:36 - 8:45] But, you know, I'm super excited to be taking this journey into doing more hand-on artwork show, y'all.
[8:45 - 8:49] My true skill with my hand-on abstract art.
[8:49 - 8:55] My art that I do on paper, that will be available as well very soon.
[8:55 - 8:58] Not sure when I'll be posting that.
[8:58 - 9:07] But my hand-on art will be up in the shop as well, which I'm super excited for.
[9:07 - 9:13] Like I said, I got the drip art circle one.
[9:13 - 9:19] And that one's up, and then next I'll probably either do this or Psycho Smile next, I'm not sure.
