Yes well, even though I was raised by artists and have given over a large portion of my life’s energy to creative pursuits, nobody actually told me that art is the study of choice (and everything started clicking into place) until about a year ago and I’ve been riding that high ever since.

One of the great things about art, no matter the medium, is you can always learn something new.

Keep riding that high, that’s really cool.
