1 year and over 2,000 hours into a single drawing

"Why am I on Earth?"

I was 3 years old when I asked myself that for the first time and as you can imagine, I was pretty flabbergasted (for lack of a better term). I also knew one thing, I am an artist.

However, when I got to school no one cared! Seriously. What is the point of going through school and wasting my time when I already know what I'm going to be doing?? So it's a long story, of course but no worries. I just finished my final draft of the book showing the whole story. As an artist, nothing I do is brilliant to me, but this book is brilliant. I'm not bragging, I'm just being honest.

For the last 5 years I have been training over 8 hours a day and creating an art series. The series turned into the book and then I decided the book needed a cover. So while I was writing the book I was creating the cover and yes, I spent over 2,000 hours on it. The series itself is worth over ten thousand hours and at this point I have started my journey to finding an amazing literary agent to help me get the best deal I can possibly fathom on the face of the Earth.

It sounds like a whole lot of me, me, me, but, come on, that's seriously some shallow thinking! The real issue is schooling. ...I found the answer to my question. You see, I believe that school is failing us all. It's the most horrific situation I can fathom. Our minds are just withering and drying up, we are losing our passion and the art of discipline . Michio Kaku said the Amercian education system is the worst education system known to science. And he's right.

What are we to do about it? So on the shallow end, it's all about me. Look at it this way though, what other perspective do I have other than my own? This image is VERY low quality and I've done that purposely. I want others to see the true magic of art when they pick up my book, "We are Human - The Education Proclamation" My goal is to drop jaws, all of those who graze their gaze upon it. It's designed to go viral and start a revolution. To reform education. But am I the only one who sees it? I seriously doubt that. You may not know who I am but, you will. I'm unstoppable, believe me, we will reform education.
