Hi, I’m Tristen Draughon, and I’m an artist in The Journal. I’m super excited to join The Journal and get to know everyone. I’ve been drawing and painting my entire life, so I’m really happy to finally be able to put those skills to use. Currently, I’m taking AP Studio Art, Ceramics and Sculpture, and next semester I’m taking Advanced Painting. I’m hoping to pursue art after high school into college. Aside from art, I like to write and watch movies. My absolute favorite movie is “Top Gun,” and Goose is my favorite movie character of all time. My favorite TV show is “The Flash.” Two of my favorite video games are the 2018 Spider-Man game and “Jedi: Survivor.” Like I said, I’m super excited to be joining The Journal, and I can’t wait to see what this school year brings.
