The artist is like a hunter who must be on his toes at all time, with eyes and ears fully open to respond to the anxious signals the world sends out.
Art is uncompromising, and life is full of compromises.
The life of the creative man is led, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes. It's not the finished, perfect product that's important - it's the willingness to sacrifice yourself to what you're doing. That's why I like etching and lithography - grinding the heavy limestone,etching the plates. It's the blood, sweat and toil - and the desire.
