In fact, he's probably more driven by his muse. He continues to draw what's in his soul regardless of the "quality" of the medium. That is what art should be about, and I applaud the man who says...so what if I don't have the fancy tools. I need to get this image out of my head and out where people can see what I have to say. Those are generally the folks I want to hear from anyway.
Money is no substitute for talent. Art for art's sake is why we are here.


I agree 100%.Sometimes money gets little talent places that great talent gets shut out of.It shouln't be that way but that's the way it is.Money talks.

The more you taste the bitterness of defeat, the sweeter final victory will be

May the flowers of love forever bloom in your garden of life
