Pull the Dawn from the Night

If you’re an artist—never give up. If there are forces that conspire to limit your art making, then enjoy the few moments you do get. If no one likes your art, who cares? Keep chasing the sun. If you have to pause for twenty, thirty or forty years, then start up again when you get the chance. Here’s the secret—once you’re an artist, you are never not one—so don’t worry. You are you. Stay sharp, stay curious, and never get lazy and you’ll be fine.

Art is not about decadence, hipness or living life on the edge, art is about pushing your mind as far as it will go and then to observe what is on the other side. Art is about following curiosity across the realm of the night until you find the dawn.
