We are honored to have, Dickxon Fernando, as our Featured Artist. This dude is awesome, from Indonesia and at only 19 years old he is creating some amazing pieces of work. We are so blessed to learn about so many different artists from around the world! We learn how we are different, but more importantly we learn how similar we all are despite living in different regions of the world and experiencing different cultures. These interviews are a real treat for us! Thank-you Dickxon and keep up the good work!
