If you’re not pissing someone off, you probably aren’t doing anything important.

General anxiety is the bridge between the manic joys of creation, exploration, new revelations, professional acceptance and reward, and the depression of self-critique, professional rejection and stagnation. All are part of the roller coaster ride of an artist's life.

Artists should be self-aware of their work and their potential places in people's lives and make their decisions accordingly.

Marketing of art is, and to my mind has always been, trendy. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean there is any real long-term value. As an artist I do what I like. As a collector I collect what I like.

A copying artist should get permission or pay the original artist a fee.

If you think success will make you happy, you have it backwards.

If you want to follow your dreams, you have to say no to all the alternatives.
