Daniel Vliet

My name is BoldArtist. I am working on a Bachelors in History. My faith is Catholic, but I think all religious beliefs are good and would lead all believers to a higher power. The forces that be simply put you where you’re suppose to be. My artistic influences are Jim Davis and Charles Schulz, Leonardo DaVinci, Bill Mauldin, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol. My writing influences are Jack London, Mark Twain, Richard Bach, the writer of John in the Bible and the writer of the Psalms in the Bible. I joined the Army in 1996, served in the regular army and the Delaware and California National Guard. Arnold Schwarzeneger was my Commander in Chief for a time, in Callie, although we never met. My jobs were a heavy equipment operator and part of a M1-A1 Abrams tank crew. During Operation Iraq Freedom, I was activated in 2003 and worked in supply and maintained barracks for wounded soldiers inside and outside. In 2004, I was discharged after working on Ft. Lewis for nine months. Now I am trying to finish school and launch an art and writing career, and get a job in the history field. I sell books online and my original arts and crafts online.
