Hello Fellow Humans!

[Tristan Lapetz]

Hello,
I live in Seattle and I've wandered into this place because I missed the opportunity to study art in school due to going to college as an indecisive and unrealized youngster straight out of high school. I'm also here because art has been one of the main through-lines of my life and it always seems to remind me it's never far when I'm down or alone. I think art deserves more of my attention and time for all that it's done for me and the rest of the world for that matter.
Here I'd like to practice and learn efficiently without constantly retracing misplaced steps. My goal is to tell stories that will make people think more about the unnoticed and overlooked. I'd like to do so through illustration. This focus will surely refine more as I go.

Thank you for letting me step into this community. I promise to contribute positively.

With anticipation,
Tristan

P.s. - Instagram in the Works

Your greetings sound suspiciously extraterrestial. So be welcomed by all means, but i would keep an eye on you.

@carlianne Thank you for the kind words Carlianne, I know my instagram is rather all over the place but I'm sure it'll begin coming together as I go on! I love the curious and interested style of your art. I get a lot of the feelings I get from adventuring through the medium of a captivating book
