Christina G. Smith

Who is Christina? I'm an American artist, I recently moved back to the Kansas City Metro area from the Paris region after living there for 8 years.  Growing up my school had no art program so my grandparents got me lessons with then local artist, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Hammond/e/B000APA04Q" rel="nofollow">Lee Hammond</a>, in the KC Metro area. I first studied realism, but have tried to develop my own style since. In college I took every art course I could ranging from life drawing, ceramics, silversmithing, metal sculpture, watercolor, and more. I am currently looking for a tattoo apprenticeship in the KC metro area. I have wanted to be a tattoo artist for over 5 years but wasn't in a financial place to be able to take that on. I now believe I am. I have portfolios and feelers out to local shops and am desperately wanting to push for this change in my career. It's hard, and discouraging for sure. But I think I have a good base an artist and could be a good asset to any shop. If you have any leads, tips, tricks, or connections to shops in the Kansas City Metro area please let me know. <a href="http://www.5sizes2small.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">5sizes2small </a> is my studio name. I created in 1998, as a freshman in high school. It has been my presence/brand on the internet ever since then. It is also the name of my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/5sizes2small/videos" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a>. What does your pledge do for me? Simply put, I need your help. Every pledge helps put food on the table, keeps a roof over my head, gas in the car, and the ability to keep doing what I do for you and everyone else. Some pledges come with physical rewards as well so it helps with postage too. The videos I make... I am doing monthly tattoo practice videos. It starts as streaming on my channel and then a time lapse is created by the end of the month for those who don't want to see it over several hours. The pins I make... I am aspiring to create pin designs that I can regularly have created and ordered. It's certainly not a lack of designs that is holding that back so much as a flow of money to keep that going. With your help it gets those designs being made faster.
