Art came fluidly, so I was able to teach myself many of the things I thought were important by copying and mimicking my artistic idols.
John Dyer BaizleyIt's hard for me to say what would happen if I didn't go to art school. It wasn't that I learned any specific painting or drafting skills at school that I felt I couldn't have taught myself.
