"Hustle and Flow" Painting

My art career up to this point has consisted of zero formal education, absolutely no background in any particular methods, mediums, or disciplines, and a non-existent series of apprenticeships and internships with more accomplished, renowned and recognizable artists. In spite of this less traditional approach to my initial foray into the world of emerging artists, I rely heavily, perhaps entirely, on my informal education and my rigourous program of self-teaching to reach a level of self-satisfaction with my painting, photography, mixed-media, digital arts, and drawings to not feel the slightest bit reluctant or reticent to not only share my artistic creations with you, but to attach a finite value to my works and try to sell them to anyone sympathetic, intrigued, or overwhelmed with my immense albeit mostly unrealized potential to be one of this generations most naturally gifted artists with no skills outside of those imparted to myself bymyself.
