Oh wow! 17! I'm surprised xD most people end up leaving their home country when they're young with their parents. And yeah Cuba is in the middle of tropical paradise and the government is turning it into an island jail... "to the heart seeking freedom this island is a prison surrounded by water" LAWL.
Sorry that was really nerdy and horrible of me lol. And omg lets be art BFFLs!!! xD; That is so crazy! I have some of my old/unfinished art up on facebook(as well as pics of NYC) and I posted some of it in my introduction thread in the Foyer. Unfortunately I've been working so much, and I'm in the process of teaching myself to speed paint so I can do good concept art, so I haven't really gotten to finish any good pieces lately.
You're not going to Full Sail university, right? My friend was down in Florida and went to that school and it's a friggin scam :\ and you should visit NYC sometime! I absolutely love the city
I went several times this summer, but it's beautiful around Christmas time with the tree and everything. Me and my best friend are going around New Years, prob a day or two after though lol
