this carrd website thing is just going to be art i have done of jon rua and probably when he has seen my art!! it’s also to keep track and just to remember not to doubt myself and my art. there’s going to be a lot of pictures and words so.. take your time looking at it all.

obviously, i then fell in love with his work. truly it’s some of the best art i have seen. i didn’t draw him for a while after, but was watching his work. eventually i did draw him again and tagged him, and he responded. what he responded with i have really taken to heart and i'm so incredibly grateful he said what he did. in that tweet where the drawing was, i also explained why i drew him.. which was quite a few tweets. he also called me awesome, which wow thank you, and that would be a recurring thing, along with thank you and red hearts.i think about it a lot. then after that i drew him again and again and again... i also found out what else he has been in and done! i found a musical he had been in called “hands on a hardbody” and i could relate to the character he played, jesus pena, so much.. i wish i was joking. (unrelated, but his singing in the song “born in laredo” is stunning.)

this is just going to be me rambling for a bit, so read if you want to, but it’s not important!

okay i love how i thank him for doing his thing, and he thanks me too. i appreciate that a lot. additionally i got a cameo from him for my birthday and he said stuff that.. really has impacted me. he said he would want my art on his walls and would want to possibly meet me someday.. whenever that may be. jon rua’s words and actions mean more than i can even say, and i hope he knows it.

if you read this far, again, thank you. i can’t even put up with myself sometimes when i talk on and on. hope y’all like my art as much as i enjoyed making them... though some do look worse than others, but that’s a whole other thing.

okay so... i'm going to try to explain why i have drawn jon rua so much. this is gonna be difficult. also this will be accompanied by pictures of the art, and screenshots of what he said that stood out to me (not all the times he has said something about my art).

!! this won’t make sense cause it’s just me talking all over the place !!

i found jon rua through hamilton because he played the role of charles lee in the original broadway cast. i have known of him for years, and the proshot of hamilton was released and my love for the show came back. i saw him and wanted to draw him as that character, so i did! i drew him and posted it to my instagram and didn’t think much.. until he liked the drawing. it took me by surprise because i didn’t expect the person i drew to see the art, but it was kind. so i went to his profile and found out more about him! i found out he was a dancer, singer, choreographer, and just a very talented artist.

i also wish i could form the words and explain how he has moved and impacted me. he has inspired me so much as to make my own art. he is such a talented and creative person, and i look up to him. to have him see, interact, and like my art is so amazing. i can’t describe that either. i hope he knows, and y’all too, how much his art has inspired me. i’m now becoming a better artist because of the inspiration he has given me. i hope to carry that passion with me year after year. the strength he has shown is amazing. he/his work has helped me through various difficult times in my life and i just appreciate his work more because of it. i don’t know where i would be or who i would be if i didn’t know who he was, truly.

i love how he also has seen my tweet about my art of him, without me even tagging him. i'm glad he likes them that much, though i do doubt myself a lot. anyways! if i continue this almost essay it would go on forever, so i’ll stop here! as i inevitably draw him again, i will add to this. in the meantime, feel free to look at my art here, or on my twitter or instagram i included at the top! thank you.
