"everyone, either through hard work or native talent, or both can be an artist. We can all do it. We may come to it in different ways but we all have the potential to creatively express our own vision. But the bottom line is that most people allow themselves to get boxed into conventional lives and don’t have the courage to try and live outside the box. Or to create outside homogenized parameters. They fear the trade off of possible having to deal with defeat, censure and failure time and again. And having to “eat only what you kill” by the skill of your brain. And only that creative side of your brain. So they choose security and assurance instead of a life in art. And by dint of just showing up and doing the process you are providing a set of ingredients that trumps talent. You’ve shown up. You’ve done the work. You’ve battled the demons that tell you that you’ll never make it. The ones that tease you with the idea that the money will always elude you even in the face of evidence to the contrary. And the people at large respond to the fact that you’ve conquered that fear and done something they really fear to do. To step into the box of creating for themselves and making it work, without instructions. Or a safety net. Real skin in the real game."
