BeInspired!

My name is Robert Peterson or as you and many others know me by my Instagram or twitter profile name of @caleblee81.  I have been drawing most of my life to some degree but didn't really take it serious until Feb of last year after commenting on a post of rapper Fabolous & stating that I was going to sketch him if he would follow back. From that day until today I have drawn or done something art related almost every day.  As for my particular style/ use of color, I discovered it by accident when accepting a request to do a sketch of someone and realizing that the colors required for the piece were all colors I didn't have so I just used what I had and hoped for the best.  After doing to colorful Copic pieces for a few months I decided I wanted to try to teach myself how to paint (I had absolutely no prior experience or training with paint) which was June 29th of 2012.  Since then I have done around 30-40 paintings and have accumulated over 400 Copic pieces of which I have been blessed to have sold work all over the world and to all types of people.  I've said since the beginning that "you have to believe in yourself enough and eventually others will too" it's something that has motivated me daily and baked me to do multiple NYC art shows and gain the support of thousands of people from every corner of the world all from a small town in Oklahoma & from my home where all of my Copic pieces are done either in my room, dinning room or living room and paintings are done in my bathroom.
