It's so great to have a home like FC. A place where everybody knows your fake name. I miss you all and although I'm kinda sorta going through some shit I recently had something happen that brought a tear to my eyes. I had to share this.
As you all know I've been busy scratching glass, well while keeping pics of collabs and custom pieces up on social media I've gathered a little following. The other day some dude reaches out to me who is in a facebook group with me consisting of etchers and alike.
He starts by telling me about his work, interests, and even shares some techniques with me. Here's where the fucker made me cry....
I asked what inspired him to do this stuff after I told him how talented he was. He went on to tell me that I was his inspiration. That he hoped to be as good as me someday and then when he found out that I have Parkinson's Disease he said it was mind boggling to him.
Im crying now as I write this because not only did he make me feel like a million dollars, but I remember that exact message being me not to long ago reaching out to dwreck and others I look up to. I had to share that here in the pd thread because this is the place where I found the strength to be me. To take a chance and shoot for something new.
I have ask myself, if I didn't have Parkinson's Disease would I have ever found my love for sandblasting?
I think I owe one to the shakes...
