Drewry, NC
I was just blessed with the opportunity and acted as if I've been here before lol ...I'm not really sure if I would call myself an artist... I'm more like a Creator... On any given day, you wouldn't just find me painting or drawing .... but on any given day you would find me creating. I never thought I would ever have artwork created on shrink wrap , wrapped around two pine trees... And now I have four.

Christian Canady
Snow Camp, NC
My Name is Christian Cannady and I love Art and I think that no matter what you go through I know it can be hard sometimes but to always stay on your feet and stand tall and most importantly never give up on your dreams and definitely not yourself.
I created the "Red Hood and Batman Two Sides" piece.
