MARC ERA

Story

I was born on Aruba. I have a passion for art. I joined Drooble to share my content with a new community of people. I am genuinely excited! 'Ora mi tin pa duna, ta bay tin hende pa tuma. Anto loke mi tin pa duna, no ta algo cu m'a tuma. Loke mi tin pa duna, niun por kita.'

It used to be recognition, and at times I still battle with this, but now I love creating more, the reward is the Self-Experience.
