Hello. My name is Justin. I am an artist with the nack for drawing what I see. I have always been a traveler at heart. I was recently diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which has made my life more painful and difficult. A brief explanation of what Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome does is basically I have a defect with the collagen in my body. This causes all my joints to be loose and hyper elastic; which in turn makes me prone to joint slips and dislocations. There is no cure for this condition. Doctors can only manage the symptoms; i.e. pain management. I refuse to take pain killers aside from your general over-the-counter advil. Despite the pain that I am in every day, I still try my best to look at the brighter side of things.

My dream is to travel the world and draw what I experience/see. Ultimately ending with a published book of all my drawings. I would be greatly thankful for any donations made. Individuals that donate $100+ to this dream will receive a free drawing of a place of their choice. The drawing will be signed, dated, and framed as well as a photograph of where the drawing took place. I will make this fundraiser an ongoing endeavour for anyone willing to make my dream come true.

I will be leaving to travel and draw between May 1 and May 15. I can't wait to get over there and start this dream. I'll keep you all up to date as to where I am at and how things are going.
