Story and artwork from Damon Daulerio

I’ve been drawing since I was 6 years old. I have never received any formal training. I have a full time job and drawing is now a hobby for me. I do it at night time and on the weekends when I have time.

Hello I am Sahar, I always dreamed about studying art and learning drawing, but instead I had to choose graphic design as a major to be able to find a job and be financially secure. Now after graduating and finding a job I don’t feel the fulfillment and the joy and my soul is starving for art.

I immerse myself in painting. It make me collect my thoughts and calm myself.

Story and artwork from Andrew Barton

I live in London and at an early age I was drawn to the arts in particular crafts and performance. I loved the feeling of creating something whether it was music, stories or art and I spent lots of my time practicing these disciplines. Since it was craft including sculpture, sewing which I enjoyed the most, my drawing skills got severely left behind and I would rarely practice it.
