Title: Thickest Paint in History
200 Word Description:
Through technology & the internet, I strive to bring creativity & innovations I’ve discovered to those who would fulfill their creative dreams, by offering painting template designs they can download, print out & paint on, video instruction, & original paintings for inspiration into the new acrylics art world of this age.
My desire has always been for every single person to have a computer & internet to help enrich their lives, yet have known the immense challenge to keep my own data of designs to offer the world, available & not crashed or lost on yet another hard drive. Since discovering affordable cloud data backup services, I hope to retrieve what I still can to empower others into creative awareness of our world, & where fun thick paint can be a part of that discovery & resource.
I’ve often been ridiculed for having standards “too high” in my efforts to offer something of quality, & given much resistance from others on helping me find systems of efficiency. But the incredible is the reason for all the effort to begin with. To me, that incredible, is fun thick painting of things never seen before & showing the world through digital means.
