HARD LESSON(a fu7#$ price to pay)

Had a really bad night couldnt sleep well and my mind was spinning fast i felt a hard punch in my face it was the punch of the reality, of being nothing and being terribly stupid and lazy i realized that i had been doing things for years and i hadnt achieved a goddamn thing i have been drawing for years and i realized that i suck that i have a million things to learn really basic things about technique human anatomy etc. The other thing that struck me hard was my PE life, 5 years maybe less maybe more of being there exercising and i measured my dick and i see a pathetic penis almost 6 inches not even 6 inches, now when i want to move forward in my life, all of the things that i believed could help me to move forward in life didnt come, no one to blame here but my idiocy and my immaturity my lack of will and vision and my lack of knowledge too, a very very hard lesson to learn,now i have to pay the price of being absent minded of all these years.I would like to see the light but the light is a bit too far now, hope i can reach it sooner than later.<

Realization that we have not got to where we want to be is a big step in making these dreams happen. In order to get what we want we need to experience the suffering of not having it. This contrast is what brings the determination to make it happen. Don't be hard on yourself, if you feel you lack skills in your drawing then start to learn the things you don't know. I too am an artist and my theme is always women and any given painting could have anywhere from 10 to 200 women. When I first started I could not get body proportion right, I could not do many of the things I saw other artist do. I became better as I started to study and try the different techniques that I loved like Matisse, Picasso, Renoir, Chagall, etc. I noticed they all had a unique way about their art and I knew if I could imitate it I would learn what I needed to learn about my own art. If you want to be better at something look to those who have done it and replicate that. Your own style will emerge through their techniques. This is the same in any part of your life, if you want to become better, find the best and copy it!

this might sound crazy, but i think being happy with your dick makes penis enlargement gains come quicker. It sounds like you have spent a long time being hard on yourself, why dont you try focusing on some things you do well and try feeling good about yourself. A positive mind set is very powerful and will help all of your goals at the same time.

When I do have the money I do invest in master pieces. I have many original Picasso's, Chagall's, Matisse's and many others. My father told me at a young age that the best place to put your money is in artwork and I have followed his advice. I also collect gold and silver, which has been terrible over the past 3 years but just like art it goes up and down. I collect this all for my families future.

Wow sounds beautiful to own those pieces but as i have said before you are the mastermind

just work hard and find something you love doing so it's not work. if you are focused on that million and the BMW that is fine but you need to work tirelessly day and night. which should be easy if it is something you love to do.

Acquiring these things did not happen due to only money, much of it was keeping my eye out and believing that I would be able to do it. My first Picasso cost very little compared to what I thought it would. From here I sold it and made a great deal of money that I reinvested into other pieces. I spent most of my time looking for Picasso's before I started to collect other pieces. I have an original Degas sculpture of "Horse Standing" this is my most prized piece of art. After I started to buy and sell art I decided to parlay the profits into precious metals and rare books. Even though I still live in the ghetto, where I have always lived, it is filled with treasures. If you want something believe in yourself and go for it. Don't ever put a price on it, just believe that if you desire it more than you disbelieve it, it will appear.

Fuck i wish i invested all my dope money in art instead of guns before i got locked up. I might have some money left over now

Life is a long journey of lessons! Realization of learning from the lessons is where change flourishes!

Strange a ghetto guy whit a hidden treasure hehe i been thinking about painting, i only draw but i have realized that painting could be better but idont know,i would like to start whit sculpture too who knows maybe in the future when i have money,yeah would be amazing to own masterpieces in my House!! how amazing that would be Rembrandt is one of my favorites, Lucian Freud only know them from the books but i like his work a lot, Rodin sculptures are amazing too, Drawings and portraits drawn whit pencil pen charcoal etc, are great but they are way less atractive for the consumers dont you think? they want to see colors and more life.My portraits i think they are more psychological and deeper I would like to have customers and someone functioning as a sponsor to be dedicated to art full time.

I have one Rembrandt, a very small etching that I purchased for the price of an antique book. I bought a Bible from the mid-1800's that had a etching in the middle, mist have been there for a long time, but it was perfect. It's size is about 4.25 x 5.5, I paid $250 for the Bible and the Etching is worth close to $25,000 so it was a true gift to find. I also found a Picasso Original Painting in a first edition book of Don Quixote, I paid $1500 for the book but the Picasso is worth much more. So miracles can happen and money can be made if you are lucky.

How do you get into art collecting? I need to find a legal hustle because that's what I'm good at

The benefits of being in the states, is that you have a quite wide market and there is an endless number of possiblities of finding good art, valuable art from different artists here in this underdeveloped country is almost impossible besides i have no money to move to the US and start acquiring Good art, i just havent found the means to move forward, but hope needs me hehe, hope someday im able to create great amazing art for people like you to buy hope so, i dont know whats gonna happen in the future but i hope everything goes great for me:cool:

Start with one piece in a genera you have studied. If it is Picasso, learn as much as you can about his style and find a piece that you can afford. Sometimes there are authentic pieces that are priced very low because they have no paper work. From here you should make a good relationship with an art appraiser who can give you decent paper work on the authenticity of the piece. From here, with that paper work, you can resell at a much higher price. I have relationships with a few art appraisers and museums that will look at my finds and give me good papers. A painting is as valuable as it's paper work. For instance, I picked up a charcoal Degas on ebay for $200, it had no paper work but I knew from my extensive studies that it was truly real. From here I sent the piece off to a museum that was able to authenticate the piece as an unknown Degas. The piece is worth in the $35,000-45,000 range. From here, after authentication you can start to search for provenance on the piece, finding collectors that may have had it in their possession at one time and where they got it from. I have not found anything on the Degas yet but when I do it will boost the value to more than $100,000. I stay with art I know and I make sure I do a ton of research before I buy but one buy could start your whole business.

Damn that's insane profit. Off to ebay I go! lol

Yup, there is plenty of ways to score big on ebay as long as you do your research. I researched the artists I wanted to collect in every way before I made a move. Finding a real painting among all the fakes on ebay takes some skill. The type of paint used, the brush strokes, the subject, the signature, many variables and it is not something you will find everyday, you need to continuously check for new pieces. Eventually someone will list a painting that has shitty paper work but authentic. This puts the seller is a crap position to the point they need to sell cheap to unload it, from there you need to create paper work that authenticates it. The quality of paper work greatly depends on the one who is doing the appraisal, it is good to make friends with a couple of people that can give you papers. I had a full time appraiser that had a doctorate in fine art that created my paper work. Once the papers are solid you can bring it to a museum to try to get provenance, this will greatly increase the value. The math looks like this on any typical piece, you buy for $200, after getting authentication it increases the value into the thousands and once you get good provenance it will send it into the 10K+ area. Like I said, it only takes one good find to create a business.

still regretful but i cant be this way for the rest of my life...i didnt do anything wrong but i have wasted important years,what a fool i have been<

A quote i read somewhere, "if you spend the entire time looking in the rear view mirror, you will never see what's ahead of you," It may be a little different than that but you get the picture.

Like any change in life, baby steps everyday and build on it 'til you get to where/what you are aiming to achieve, accept that along the way you will make mistakes and take two steps back but that's ok, nobody does it perfect the 1st time anyways. It doesn't have to be life changing within a day, chip away at it little by little, you will get there if you believe you can &#128077;
