I've recently filmed this short documentary #HeartToArt about my bullying ordeal growing up and how ultimately it's helped make me the person and artist I am today, and in hopes of spreading awareness and potentially making another's experience much easier. 

In the documentary I return home to my hometown of Ebbw Vale where I chat to my parents about coming out as gay, being bullied and looks through some old artwork I've not seen for almost 10 years. My teenage work was very dark, focused around depressing subjects and a stark contrast to the upbeat colourful and playful work i'm now known for creating. 
I also revisit an old basketball court by my former school where I openly chat and break down in tears about one particular insistent that left me scarred for life. 
"I just wish I'd told someone what I was going through at the time" 
I go on to explain how my life was turned around by finding confidence in something I was good at, my art. I reflect on some amazing experiences such as meeting my idols, national TV exposure, travelling the world and being invited to Buckingham Palace because of my charity work. 
"I just want to show people it gets better"
"If this helps just one person it'll be worth while, whether it's the person being bullied, the bully or a family & family of someone that maybe going through a similar thing"
"I'd like to thank those bullies for making me who I am today!"

PLEASE share this video far and wide and hopefully make the difference we need to make, today, everyday and any day, we should be proud.
