I draw FEET pictures for BIG MONEY

Hey guys! In this video Arthur want to share with you his story. He think, art has no limits.

I am just a normal teenager, no different from others. But I have my own thing – I am crazy about draw-ing. My Mum says I learned to hold a pencil even before I began to walk. I made my first drawings (mostly, spots and dashes) when I was two.

For other things, I am just an average. Average grades, average physical shape, average communication with girls. I have few friends and all of them are fanatics, like me. Well, because a normal guy simply cannot «survive» being my friend. I can sit still for hours, sketching a picture from my mind, while other folks run, jump and play games.

My parents always support me. My Mum is my best critic. She is also my agent. My Dad helps me with money. If you know a little about artists - all the painting stuff can cost a red penny. But I don’t ask too much. Usually, I just draw with a pencil or a charcoal.

My pictures have been exhibited at our local gallery since I was 12. Honestly, I don’t really understand why, but some people have been buying my pictures from time to time. That’s great because I can earn money for new paintings. The local newspaper and reporters sometimes write about me, but I haven’t been very popular, though. Until now.

People of art often deal with strange things. Especially it’s about girls. If I see a beautiful girl, I try to sketch her on a paper, because her image can be useful later. But they react differently to a guy in a public transport, looking at them, getting a pencil and a notebook and drawing them. Some girls ask to stop, others, on the contrary, start posing.

At that time I was looking for a suitable project. I wanted to make something worthy that could bring me the glory or at least, bring profits. So I practiced drawing in the subway. I thought people's faces would be a great idea for an exhibition.
So I went once to the subway, searching for a suitable model of the next portrait. I was only 15, and girls inspired me a lot. My muse quickly appeared. She was older than me and she had an amazing face structure. I just had to draw her.

I took out my notebook, made a sketch and she sat closer to me. She praised my work and began to hit on me. I was just a guy in the subway but she hinted with some indecent offers. Then she insisted that I had provoked her. Honestly, I ran away. Some people may think I acted cowardly and I could take my chance, but I was frightened by such a dash from a stranger girl. Since then, I gave up the idea of pass-ers-by portraits.

Later on, I tried different styles, but it was not the thing… I didn’t get money or fame. Of course, I was young, but in my head I had a great desire to stand out. One day I felt so exhausted that I threw around the studio all my sketches and papers and I just ran across this mess and chaos.

While I was cleaning up I noticed a trampled paper with the footprints. It took my attention. But I thought it was unfair to promote such kind of art. So I put it away. I didn’t’t want to get rid of it because I thought it might be useful.

Then I went for a few days to the countryside where my grandma lived. My Mum started to prepare pic-tures for my new exhibition. When I was back home, I found a strange thing. She took my trampled can-vas out to the gallery, and some weird guys bought it for big bucks.

And then it started rolling. Those guys were some supacool, trendy critics that sometimes come to small towns searching for rising talents. And my picture caught them so much that they bought it and published a series of articles about the boy who draws genius works of art by his feet.

So, here we go! After those articles I became very famous, and people just snatched my feet paintings away for big bucks. We moved to the capital, bought a luxury house, and I became a very popular artist who created a new style of art.

Seems like, there’s nothing to complain of. Still, I feel myself as a fake. I know how to draw wonderful landscapes, portraits, paintings with an idea and exposure. But I have a reputation of the creator of a simple feet scribble. Everyone calls it «a new approach», «a fresh note in the swamp of monotony»… but honestly, I feel ashamed a little.

Like this video if you keen on drawing. Write about your strange styles of art. Folks, if you are artists, you gotta see something that is beautiful and not fashionable. Develop your taste instead of chasing the hype.
