UNFORGETTABLE



Unforgettable 

is dedicated to anyone who has ever followed their dreams, to anyone who has ever taken a chance

In late 2010 I accepted a job as a concept artist at a local game company in Madrid,Spain. Not knowing much about the company or the people I decided to take a chance and go. Leaving behind my fellow artists , friends , family , and dance community I boarded a plane with 2 suitcases not sure when I would be coming back . From learning a new language , to getting accustomed to different cultures , everyday presented not only a new challenge, but a new opportunity to better understand myself and my art. From Morocco to Paris I was blessed with the opportunity of traveling and learning from others who also shared my passion in art.

From gaining new friends that have become family to losing a 3+ year relationship with the person I thought was the one, my journey abroad was one of the most enjoyable and also one of the hardest times I ever experienced in my life. But above all else, it was also the most memorable. As Artist we struggle make things that are unforgettable. As I continue to learn about myself and my art. I hope that one day when people talk about the greats, that you may one day think of me.

So to everyone that has been a part of my journey thus far this video is dedicated to you, and I hope that one day you too will have your unforgettable experience

Your story is truly an inspirational for me. I'm currently also chasing my dream to be a concept artist myself. I'm away from home and my country for 9 yrs now. I will be graduated from animation/illustration major next year and dont know if I would get a job here in the State or I will have to go back to my country. Hopefully my dream will come true like yours! Thank you for posting your awesome paints and the video!
