The advice I like to give to young artists, or really anybody, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. Now that my children are grown, I work essentially 365 days of the year. Any day that you just do a little something, all those little pieces of something add up and it continues the momentum.

This is why he is my all-time favorite artist. Well, that, and the work itself.
