"My interest in art started in elementary school when I entered a poster contest. I won 1st place, but then the judges realized that the work was too advanced for a 3rd grader, and I was disqualified. They were right; I had gotten my older cousin to make the poster for me. Still, the whole experience sparked my interest in art. I started checking out library books and copying the illustrations in them. By the time I was in middle school, I was winning art contests, but now nobody was doing the drawings for me. I was doing them for myself. *laughs* I was rolling then. I plan to continue my art studies, and someday I'd like to do illustrations for books, comics, and advertisements."
