by Jahanshah Javid on Thu Jul 01, 2010 05:09 PM PDTOliver, you are very talented. Very good. I must admit that I did not read the note about your age before I watched the video. So I was expecting to the see the artwork of an older adult. I found it very odd that a mature artist would display art that ranges from very bad to really good. Then I noticed your age and realized of course that you started as a child. Well, you sure have matured! Keep it up. You have a great future ahead.
