Practice makes Permanent

"Remember that just drawing and drawing and drawing won't make you an accomplished artist, unless you go about it in the right way.  If you're doing it wrong, you'll be perfecting your wrongness.  You'll be getting better at being terrible.  If you don't work from life, life itself will pass you by.  You need the experience of drawing from life to give your work conviction." -Harley Brown

"That's not Art, that's Illustration!"

"Almost everybody is an artist these days.  Rock and Roll singers are artists.  So are movie directors, performance artists, make-up artists, tattoo artists, con artists, and rap artists.  Movie stars are artists.  Madonna is an artist, because she explores her own sexuality.  Snoop Doggy Dogg is an artist because he explores other people's sexuality.  Victims who express their pain are artists.  So are guys in prison who express themselves on shirt cardboard.  Even consumers are artists when they express themselves in their selection of commodities.  The only people left in America who seem not to be artists are illustrators." -Brad Holland
