Wayyyyy before I ever helped come up with draw, I had always thought to myself “Jordan, what do you want to do with your life?” just like any other kid out there. I would question my meaning on this planet, and I would get SUPER contemplative, don’t ask me why but that’s just how I roll.

When I was thirteen years old I took a really strong liking to my cousin Christopher and he became one of the biggest role models in my life. If I could influence and shape one person’s life like he did mine, I would feel like a success. So it was then that I made it my mission, to try and change a person’s life in a positive way like he had done to me.

And not in some big grand arc, or life altering way but in the simplest of manners and the most subtle of actions. Hell if I could get one person to just think about something in a different light, I’d call myself a success.

So as I grew older, I decided that art was my medium, that I would use my art or my ideas to in some way influence people to look at the world in a different light, if even for a fleeting moment.

I want draw to be that.

I want to be able to use draw to get people to feel like they can be artists again, or even for the first time. I want people to be able to take this company and our ideas, and use it to spark a part of their personality that they forgot. If I could convert one person into seeing that they in fact had artistic talent through this company then I feel like I would be a success, as well as draw.

So this past weekend a friend of mine, who is hands down one of the nicest kids I have ever met; Zach Higgins, pulls me aside. We start talking about draw, and how he loves the company.(check out his winning drawing here) and we eventually started talking about the blog. Zack proceeds to tell me that reading our thoughts, seeing our company, and being inspired by what we represent; got him drawing in his sketchbook again.

I want him, and everyone out there to know that if draw ended today(which thankfully it didn’t, and won't) that I would feel like it was a success….

Thank you Zack.

So take a cue from Zack and DRAW!
