not an update.

If any of you feel disheartened, demoralized or dispirited, or simply feel like dying (like me), here's just a couple of artist quotes, that'll hopefully make your life pills that much easier to swallow. 

"Every good painter paints what he is." 
-Jackson Pollock.


"Practise what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know."
-Rembrandt van Rijn.


"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."
-Scott Adams.


"A sincere artist is not the one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing."
-William Dobell.


(And these last quotes are just cause they're downright hilarious.)(To me, at least.)

"Painting is a language which cannot be replaced by another language. I don't know what to say about what I paint, really."
-Balthus. 

"Believe it or not, I can actually draw."
-Jean Michel Basquiat.


Toodles.
