I'm basically your average art nerd. Well, minus the part about being average. I'd like to say I'm different from most people. I try to stay away from the norm and define things for myself, though sometimes i can be predictable. Name anything artistic or that requires a certain amount of creativity and I'm into it. I'm involved in many school programs. for example PALs, NHS, Eco club, Peace Jam, Yearbook, and I illustrate for our school newspaper. Fun huh? I'd like to think so. :]
