Hello, I'm Andrew. All my life, I've been told to use my talents to my advantage, but I never listened and instead wound up creating a pretty challenging existence for myself. But through all of the trials and the immense amount of grief I've endured with the passing of my mother, I think it might be time to put my skills to good use and try to make a living doing so.
However, given today's shitty job market and the background I drag behind me, it's honestly been a struggle to make ends meet. With that being said, this GoFundMe is wholeheartedly an attempt to try and purchase some art supplies for myself to really kick this momentous and golden "idea" that I have into existence. Paints, whether it be acrylic or oil, paint brushes, canvas, pastels, pastel paper, charcoal, graphite, sheets of real drawing paper in different tones, Prisma colors, and the whole lot is what I'm after.
If you find it in your heart, especially to the ones who have seen any of the work I've done, it would be an extraordinary gift for even the smallest bit of help... thank you so much
