I CAN draw

I 'm plagued by insecurities especially while I am trying to find my place in the world – to find a job or internship that's right for me where I can continue to learn and not be stifled.

It's tough. A few weeks ago on Instagram @homsweethom #HOMwork lettering topic was "to create a piece with a repeating word or group of words". I've been busy so I haven't explored my budding interest in lettering, but that topic stuck with me.

Today, I realized the phrase I wanted to do: "I can't draw." It's something that has been repeating in my head for so long. I look at all the talented people I follow and, if I'm lucky, who follow me and I honestly feel like a fraud. I am not an illustrator. I'm a guy with a good tablet who can do wonders with photoshop.

Yes I have had great teachers who showed me how draw without what I call "cheating". But I still have that little voice that keeps repeating that phrase over and over again. So I wanted to this. Not for anyone else. But for me. Each time I hand-lettered the phrase and then scratched it out I realized how it's not true
