Artist | Hobbyist | Traditional Art
United States
Hello, my name is Matthew Kirby. I am an American artist, and my preferred medium is graphite. When I choose to color, I enjoy using colored pencils the most. I am currently a Senior in high school (Class of 2012), and I aspire to make my name well-known as a freelance professional artist. I am unsure of what direction I truly want to go with my life, but I have faith that everything will turn out just fine. I treat everybody with respect, and my expectations assume that you do as well (all until they're given a reason to be disrespected). Anyway! I hope you enjoy my gallery, and don't be afraid to leave a few comments. (: Thank you.
