reinspired


wow.


love love love love//////

not drawing right now, as i am in boston and away from my sketchbook. (i know, if i was REALLY an artist i would have it with me where ever i go) but anyway this guy is amazing.

"I began drawing as a young child, but it wasn't until a few years ago when I decided to practice everyday, that I started getting better. I would draw some days for 15 hours straight till my hands were swollen shut. "

not only do i love him because hes such a talented artist, but because he admits to practicing constantly, dispelling the belief that artistic ability is somehow innate, as i discuss in my first post. If this doesn't make me want to practice more, i don't know what will.

furthermore, i am at a crossroads in deciding between: a semi fulfilling job/career in the fashion industry where i basically have to eat a lot of shit and do really boring stuff for years and years for someone else's benefit, or do i want to just be an artist type and get a day job while pursuing fashion as a creative endeavor of which i could have complete control?

the jury's still out.
