Darnell, 24 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Darnell plans on going to school (Fashion Institute of Technology) full time for Animation, Illustration, and Fine arts. He also plans to pursue a career in Voice Over work, as well as achieving an income from making music. His friends and anyone that he meets would tell you that he has had a natural affinity for creating and learning more about art. He usually spends my free time either drawing, playing video games, singing/ writing music, or discovering different kinds of places to meet fellow artists. Due to him growing up in the foster care system since birth, he had a very difficult time finding a place to truly call home. Making art has always given him an outlet for his feelings and emotions, which in some way has given him some form of solace at times where I felt that there wasn’t any.

Darnell is an artist that aspires to attend FIT. He also loves singing and is interested in learning how to play guitar. He would love his own electric guitar and amplifier, so he can start that process and make music to express himself and relieve stress.
