Introduction

Russell C. Palmer

I'm a very introverted person. I don't think being more reserved is a bad thing, it's always good to be okay just sitting with yourself and your thoughts. Something that makes alone time even healthier is having an outlet. From my experiences, an outlet can be anything from watching a specific type of show to writing to playing games and overall just being in a place where you can exercise the creative part of your brain while enjoying yourself. While I have plenty of things I do that I consider to be soothing outlets most of the time, I always go back to drawing. It might even be an issue at this point, where now I will draw just so my hands are doing something. Drawing has been such a large part of my life and art as a whole with many people in my family coming from an artistic background in some way. My life has been filled with cartoons, video games, and comic books, and those things never fail to amaze me. While nothing is certain in my future I have trouble imagining myself enjoying anything other than creating things some can look at with the same amazement that those who inspire me have created. Being able to create something that someone looks at and inspires them or creating someone's next outlet that he or she can invest hours into. My dream is to live my life creating and I want to do everything I can to make that possible.
