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

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.

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

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

Shall I throw away the materials and time paying homage to the perfectionist - knowing that nothing is ever perfect and also knowing that redoing yesterday is not always proceeding to tomorrow's discovery? What an eternal debate!

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

One can be a technical master - full of craftsmanship, but not in most senses an artistic master.
