Art shop

Hi, my name is max but my online name is artshop. I'm named artshop because my father used to own well.. a artshop. I loved that shop but it sadly went out of business because of financial reasons. That store is probably one of the reasons I love art and creating it. Things like that make me hold that store with a high emotional value.

Anyways. I live in the Netherlands and i am currently 15 years old. I have a extreme social anxiety disorder but i has been getting better lately to the level that i can go to school which makes me really happy. Many people my age don't want to go to school. And I totally understand that to a certain extent but I have spent so much time at home disappointed that I failed to go to school that day (because of social anxiety) so it's better for me to go to school and socialize even though its still scary. Because of the end of the day I would rather be proud of something that I did of happy I escaped a scary situation.

Anyways, hobbies. I really enjoy coding, gaming and making piece's of art. My favourite engine to code on is the 2005 source engine which also created one of my favourite games: Team Fortress 2.
Team Fortress 2 is a multiplayer online shooter where I can have fun in anytime. When I was at my social anxiety peak I always had fun in Team Fortress 2. Which resulted in me spending over 1200 hours in that game alone and I haven't even explored every side of the game. The fun you can have in this game is truly infinite.

sorry I got sidetracked again. Creating art, I have been drawing my whole life and I cant seem t get enough of it. From drawing Lego Ninja's from when i was a wee little max to people paying to make art for them. Its truly fascinating to me. If you want to see my art I would love to feature a portfolio here but I currently do not have the link for it so I will add it when I have it.

I think that was all of it. I really do appreciate you reading all of this.

Now the most important thing I want to tell you. Every 2 weeks I will be updating a blog that I you will be able to view through a link I have sent below. So be sure to read it every once in a while! You will be able to find the blog below this message:
