Who we are, and what we do.......

What is it that drives you? What is it that compels you? What is it that makes it all worth while?
If your answer can be summed with with a single word, then you are on the right track. I'm talking about PASSION people, passion. In order for any of us to succeed, we must have passion. We cannot be part time artist just going though the motions, we must be passionate about what we do. We must live it, we must love it. to the point were we can see it everywhere. We must allow us to be inspired by things we don't like and find the beauty of things we are repulsed by. What you don't like Tim Burton Films? I'm not really a fan of them myself, but if i watch them for the  imagery, the unique flavor of Nightmare before Christmas, or the Gothic monochromatic of Sleepy Hollow ( my favorite of his films) an artist such as my self will learn to appreciate his work. This of course goes both ways, If you love the work of Jim Lee or maybe Jeph Loeb, be inspired by them, feel free to aspire to be LIKE them, but don't become them. Art is like a finger print of the creative mind. Each artist work must be unique. by allowing ourselves to be inspired by things outside of our comfort zone, we can stay unique and flourish with a wide range of skills. I will probably never be considered a realist, or a cubist, but Di Vinci and Picaso can be found in some of my past work. So Take it all in people. Find the beauty in all of it, stay hungry, stay passionate.
