Since I started drawing, I’ve also started following more artists both here and on other social media sites. One of my favorite finds has been Steve Kidd who’s also a self taught artist.

Anyway, I’d love for you all to visit and follow Steve on his one year blogging anniversary! Congratulations, Steve!
Amazingly (to me) it’s been a year since I setup this website and a hashtag #stevekiddart on the social media channels.
It was around 4-5 years after I started to teach myself to draw from no background in art whatsoever, I could barely draw a stick man at that point and was one of the many people that would say “oh no, I can’t draw, I’m not talented at all”.

Wow!! Thank you so much Meg, that’s very kind of you, I’m very glad to have encountered you on this artistic journey as well.

Here’s to our advancement in the art world, long may it continue.
