Self Belief by Yeshaya Dank 2026 by Yeshaya Dank Via Flickr: I am ready, i am steady! I am going, i am showing! I am flying, and i am stowing! I am growing, i am becoming! I got this, i rock this! I am the best, i am up for the test! I am at my own behest, and i create my own nest! I am a doll, a prance gracefully like a foll! I will not fold, until i get the gold! I am a diamond! I will win, take the thoughts of failure and throw them in the bin! Poem about Yeshaya Dank about how he believes in himself and his abilities now as an artist, photographer and as a person!

I grew up orthodox jewish, and in the closet as a gay man, because being gay was treated like addiction in the orthodox jewish community. Art was my escape. I did 3D computer graphic art, paper mache, pottery, painting, drawing, and conceptual art. I then went on to study to become a rabbi. Got kicked out of rabbinical college with my bachelors degree but without rabbinical ordination cause i asked: “why does it say love thy fellow as thyself; if your against gay love?” Then went on to become an Entreprenuer. Eventually i found my way back to art.
