Here goes!

Hi there.  Josh here, and this is my first attempt at an art blog so bear with me.  For those of you who don't know me, I am a 23 year old aspiring Seattle based artist currently enrolled in my first year at the Gage Academy KOH Atelier program.  As of tomorrow, I will be 2/3 of the way through my first year.  It has been a wild ride, and promises not to let up.  The Kang O'Higgins Atelier is basically a practice artist's studio where we put in 6 hours, 5 days a week split between life-room and observational studies.  In short.  We work our asses off, and are blessed to have an eccentric Irishman (Mark Kang O'Higgins) breathing down our backs, kicking our asses, and otherwise pushing us, kicking and screaming, into the professional art world.  I can't plug this place enough.  If you're willing to put in the effort, there is no limit to how beneficial this program can be.  This blog will be my attempt to document my journey through this program.  Enjoy!
