So share with us sort of your art background, how you got into art, some of your experience that you've had before you even got into sorcery, and how did you even get involved with sorcery in the first place?

All right.
41:57
Yeah.

So, yeah, as I said, I have been doing art since I was a kid and I really have my mom to thank for my art practice.

She, from a very early age, taught me how to draw and paint and just taught me how to be creative and just think outside of the box.

And I grew up with four brothers and.

and we're all really into the arts so it's really thanks to my mom that this journey began when i was a kid and growing up i i love to paint in acrylics i love to draw also with like crayons and harkers and i was really captivated especially by the lord of the rings films uh that probably had like the largest influence uh on my uh artwork and yeah when i went to university though i kind of took like a weird tangent in my life where i left art behind and i studied in uh in marketing And I actually took a sales job after university for about two years.
