Ever since I was 14, I've been a dedicated follower of Port Adelaide. I'm drawn to them, perhaps because they've long been the underdog and I love their blue and black colours. Players like Brett Ebertt and Justin Westhoff, who never give up, are among my favourites.
In my early teens, I became a fan of Good Charlotte, Joel Madden's band. I admire Joel's style and wanted to emulate his hair, though my parents weren't keen. Seeing him perform live is a dream of mine.
I'm considering sending a tee to The Voice in hopes Joel will wear my black #3—it's a long shot, but worth a try!
In high school, I started attending TAFE part-time and fell in love with painting, eventually enrolling three days a week after graduation. Despite needing assistance due to my CP, I had great teachers and received valuable advice from nearby artist Robert Juniper, whom I fondly knew as "Bob." Last year, facing health challenges, I explored screen printing and created my first design, #5, which earned positive feedback from friends. This sparked a conversation with my dad about starting my own business. Sadly, Robert Juniper passed away earlier this year. His guidance will always be cherished.
