Alex - 

They say that everybody has a story and a chapter that they hardly ever look back on, well as for   me, I would say that I’ve been through quite a lot in my life, and I’m about to tell you all about 

it.

​

 

Alex - 

Hi there,I’m Alex ,your average paintbrush. Okay I know you’re thinking. You’re a brush, you don’t   

do much. Well, you’re not wrong, I mean painting is in fact our one and only purpose, but that doesn’t mean that my life can seem as boring as it looks or  sounds.

 

Alex - 

As you can see here, these are are my friends , we have the bunchos, that’s Mika and that guy? that’s  george. These guys have helped me a lot throughout my tough times when I arrived to this house. Reflecting back when I lived in the store, everyday, I was disrespected by other paintbrushes. That was definitely one of the few chapters that I hardly ever look back on but I keep on reminding myself, past is past.

 

Words couldn’t describe how excited I was when I was shipped into the store. Just the thought of being a tool which is useful and existed for more than 12,000 years ago, its a great feeling. As time went by, I was getting quite scared that no one would ever want to buy me. I mean, I thought I was useful… until not long after, I thought the opposite. My past seemed like a burden as customers seemed ignore us everyday. It’s like we never even existed. And with the other paintbrushes who kept on harassing me, It made things a lot more worse. 

 

 

Until one day….

Things started of pretty rough when I arrived to my new home but things ended up pretty well. George, Mika and the Bunchos had really kept me company and that was when I started to feel welcomed. 

 

 

Alex - 

A little bit about my owner, ever since she bought me, has been using me quite a lot and might I say, I do a pretty good job, with the help of Mika and the Bunchos of course but what really annoys me about her is lack of care. She kept on dropping me everywhere!
