What is Art Dilemma?
In a nutshell, Art Dilemma is a blog about the creative journey.

As artists, we all go through ruts. No matter the medium — word, light, paint— the block is inevitable. Sometimes, we get lost, distracted, or just plain lazy. And hey, it’s not entirely our fault: Some people overlook how hard art can be sometimes. Eventually, we have to find our way back — to get our creative juices flowing again.

In a bigger nutshell; This is the story of Valerie, aka me. However, I bet some of you here can relate. It is highly unlikely that my story is one-of-a-kind. Well, this particular one, anyhow.

…(drumroll)…

Then Art Dilemma was born. It rose out of the ashes to finish the 5 projects sitting in my garage, and to start new ones. But, it’s not all about me. Art Dilemma is for you too. With this site, I hope to build something meaningful — whether it be discussion or just a little something to stir up your creativity.

Please keep checking back for artistic updates and free stuff. Everybody likes free stuff.

Who’s Valerie?
That would be me. See specs below:

• Birthday: October 1985
• Current city: Dallas, Texas
• Hobbies: Watching cartoons, designing websites, sketching portraits of imaginary friends, wondering what if, keepin’ it real, and eating smoked salmon
• Art: illustration, painting, photography, digital art, print design, web design & development

As a kid, I loved art. Loved it. In fact, I lost a few friends in grade school because I refused to share my crayons. Yes, I do need my yellow orange, orange yellow, macaroni and cheese, and goldenrod because I might feel like shading later.
