Here is my life so far.
On the 20th of May, 2001, I was born in California and lived there until my young adulthood. During those years, I had a mom, a dad, and an older brother, lived on a farm and mostly did farm-related business. It was a struggle; I can tell you that.Throughout my entire life, I have been living with
PDD-NOS autism. I look at things differently, feel things differently, know things differently, and do things differently to this day. Although I'm not sure if this is a blessing or a curse, at least it's good that I'm high-functioning. Otherwise, I would've been in a worse situation than I am right now.My love for artistry and drawing did not start until my elementary school years. Even though, at that time, I was drawing stick figures, things can evolve. And it did. As I moved from elementary school to elementary school (for neurodiversity reasons), my artistic and drawing skills went from bland to better. In addition, I had generated a few ideas that would become even greater as I grew up.By the time I was attending high school sometime in 2016, I realized I needed a name for myself. I devised many names, but they never really stuck with me. That is, except for one. It was still the name I stuck with the most:
Pencil Artist Entertainment.
Although the "Entertainment" part has changed in recent years, the "Pencil Artist" part did not because it represents who I truly was and am: an artist utilizing pencils of all sizes, colors and types to make silly cartoon art.My high school years were also when I experimented with many digital art applications, which were You Doodle, Paper By WeTransfer, and Autodesk Sketchbook. Of all these digital art applications, I chose Autodesk Sketchbook because it broke all my limitations with the other applications. Although it would inevitably become replaced with Krita, I will never forget all the good times and art I made with it. After all, it led me to an art style that surpassed the realm of stick figures and into realistic--well, realistic-ish--anatomy.One day, I decided to make my mark and let my name become known online. On the 1st of October, 2020, during the start of my college years, I started making my career as a cartoon artist on Newgrounds (I was originally going to do it on DeviantArt, but at this point, I'm glad I didn't). What followed was a wild ride. I met a lot and even made friends with people I met online. I drew a whole lot of art, including art for the Pencil Artist Cartoon Universe. I learned something about the dos and don'ts of what to draw. I expanded my business into sites like Twitter/X, Youtube, Tumblr, Fur Affinity, and Ko-Fi. Not only is it a wild ride, it is also fun. Although I am not drawing as much as I did back then, I do not, I repeat, do not, plan on quitting now.While I was drawing, my college years were certainly amazing. It was undoubtedly a challenge in its own merits, but this college taught me so many things that I could ACTUALLY utilize in the future. It taught me philosophy, humanities, math, finance, culture based on current events, how to do business, how to get a job, how to work in an office job as an intern, CGI and its overcomplicated elements, 2D animation and its less overcomplicated elements, graphic design, motion design, collaboration on projects, how to socialize, and the fact that you're better off dead if you procrastinate. Again, it taught me many important things, and I love them all.On the 26th of August, 2023, I graduated college cum laude (with honor) with a bachelor's in communications and a minor in business. From there, I was expected to face the unknown as a man. I am unsure how to do that while writing this bio, but I have to at some point.
