"I've always been creative with words and images, I used to draw as far back as I remember.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> ### As I got older I got sidetracked from my love for art and got more involved with rapping, spoken word and poetry.

### It was only when I posted a little sketch on Instagram and received great praise that I realised art is still something I enjoyed and hadn't lost the ability to play with.

> After drawing continuously for a year I decided that this was actually something I could make a living from so I began to take it seriously."

### Here’s some words of wisdom for creatives to take onboard along their pursuit of a creative career:

Advice One
----------

> ### Be integral in your style, morales and business. Do not become complacent with your actions and always strive for better.

Advice Two
----------

> ### Work hard. Nothing comes over night, it could take 5-10-15 years but if you're confident that this is what you want to do, stick to it.

Advice Three
------------

> ### Don't waste time - you know yourself wether you are good at something, you may have a passion for something but not the skills.
> 
> ### It's okay to be a supporter of what you love if you can’t be directly involved. If you cant do it, keep it moving and find something that you can!"
