Please Steal this Art #1 (Quote about Artists and Writers)

I found myself writing this message recently (below) in an email to a friend, because I felt it was important for her to take her creative life seriously. After that, I decided to make a piece of art out of it, since I believe it deeply!

If you find it of any value, please print out, pass on, edit it, put on your website or blog. Anything goes. If you want a hi-res version, leave comment below on where I should send it.

I totally agree with making more space -both figuratively and literally - for our art and creative endeavors. Art is fertilizer for the soul.

This is very true. It can be a difficult path, but it is the path I'm walking on and I can't change who I am :D

Remember that when you do creative work, people may question it or discourage you from investing your time in this pursuit. In these situations, it's best to not engage those types of questions. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone, when it comes to your life's calling.
