A Return to a Forgotten Dream
Konnichiwa.
My name is Bronwen and I am a mother, teacher, artist and dreamer. Though I’m originally from South Africa I moved to Japan in 2005 with my husband following a year later. I work here are an assistant English teacher in elementary schools and have two beautiful children of my own.
I’ve been drawing since I was young, but always struggled with it. I didn’t realize it at the time but I have some very strong leanings towards neo-classical and realist styles so I would get very frustrated with myself when I couldn’t reproduce what I saw. In high school I took art as one of my classes but my teacher and I got on very badly. She was very much an abstract art person while I would stare at a Jackson Pollock painting thinking, “I don’t get it.” Impressionism and Expressionism always felt unfinished to me, like someone had forgotten to go in and add all the details. At the time the teacher told me that an artist was not a camera so trying to faithfully re-create what we saw was futile and worthless. Somewhat dejected with this whole outlook and thinking that this was what ‘modern art’ was all about, I went to university to major in classical studies and drama instead of going to art school…

Amatuer to pro one day at a time
Artwork by Seth Bland
Hello! My name is Seth.
It took me a while to figure out what I really wanted to pursue in life as far as a career choice. I discovered I loved to draw and paint and create characters and stories with my pictures.
While I was in grade school, I did not take my love for these things seriously because I had no idea this could actually be a career so it was more of a hobby. Only a couple years ago did I finally decide I wanted to get into illustration and/ or visual development for games and movies.
Over the last couple years I have taken a few fundamentals drawing and design courses, however not nearly as many as I would like. Aside from that, I have watched a ton of you-tube drawing/painting tutorials and bought gumroad tutorials and a couple dozen anatomy, painting, and how-to-draw books to gain the knowledge I have …
