Claudia Gray
Claudia Gray is not my real name. I didn't choose a pseudonym because my real name is unpleasant (it isn't), because I'd always dreamed of calling myself this (I haven't) or even because I'm hiding from the remnants of that international diamond-smuggling cartel I smashed in 2003 (Interpol has taken care of them). In short, I took a pseudonym for no real reason whatsoever. Sometimes this is actually the best reason to do things.

I wore an eye patch and clutched a blonde doll wearing a similar patch. I imagine it was all rather maudlin, but at the time I wouldn’t have known that word.

About 4 years ago I made the decision to try and turn my part time drawing hobby into a full time income. I also decided that chronicling my journey while doing so, would be a good idea. So in December of 2020, I launched my YouTube channel and haven’t looked back since. Over the past 4 years I’ve uploaded around 84 videos covering the topics of self publishing, drawing, design, as well as how to get started on YouTube. And in that time I've also managed to pick up around 16,000 subscribers and set up a pretty decent passive income for myself.
