I finished my portfolio – it was good enough to receive a $40,000 scholarship to the college I was applying for. (Btw, I didn’t end up using any of the art I posted below, heh)
If you’re thinking about creating an art portfolio or in the process of doing so, don’t give up its completely worth it in the end.

I did it!
19 months ago
I won a $28,000 Battelle Scholars Award, and a $40,000 Trustee’s Award scholarship, both to the art college I’m hoping to attend this fall!
Autographs please!
2 years ago
It happened to me once. I was in a store, and was mistaken for some acrtress… for a minute or so I had the attention of everyone around me, there were some over-excited girls begging for for autographs until I convinced them that I wasn’t the person they thought I was.
It was weird, and really fun… Now that I look back on it, I think I should have gone along with it, and pretended to be that person.
Now I want to return the favor to some unsuspecting innocent person. lol
