No more monkey business by Freewill art in Maddingley

I am currently a Melbourne-based artist, born and raised in the southern state of India, Kerala. I have been a visual artist since the day my parents took me to a public painting completion at the Children's park when I was around 4 or 5 years old. In the beginning, I learned to draw cartoon characters from TV shows I recorded onto videotapes and then paused them to use it as reference. I've since come a long way, and I've not used the videotape reference method for a long time. I've been able to create original artworks without references since then. But I do use them as well whenever it's necessary. From pens on paper to pencil on paper to tattoo needles on skin to brushes and spray cans on canvas and walls, I've experienced and learned so many things from being a visual artist and loved it... still loves it. I've also diversified from visual arts a few times by trying my hand at music, sculpting, film making, science experiments in art, etc.
