Most people struggle trying to find out what they want to do in life, but I've found out that's only the beginning. The next thing is trying to live that life you want to live, and that is much harder than it may seem. In my case being just some guy with a childhood dream and ambition to be an illustrator and aspire to becoming one of the worlds best game designers is no easy task. However, I want to be known as a story teller, not just an artist, because there are many things I want to say to inspire and encourage the world. I feel like as an artist the best way I can reach others is through what I create, and graphic novels and video games I believe can be excellent story telling tools. Hopefully, I can put a smile on someones face, and inspire someone to live their own lives to the fullest. I didn't really share my dream much with others, except for my close friends, because I didn't want people telling me I couldn't do it. I didn't need that. I was a kid, like most kids, who grew up in a world where we've been taught that there are some talents in life that get you places and talents that get you no where; and being artistic is one of those talents that get you no where. In any case, I've found my great goal in life, however I quickly discovered I wasn't nearly good enough to reach the heights I wanted to reach. So it was time to plan on how I was going to get their, it was time to sharpen my skills enough to face the professional world out there and make my dream a reality. It was time to go to school. After a great search from Tokyo, to Seoul Korea, to all over the US, I finally found the right place for me -- The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California.
