@jdubz congrats!!!! It's been wonderful seeing you grow as a student here 😊😊😊😊

@david I too am a birder and just started posting photos to an Instagram account last summer at ljdemott I’m going to follow you and @lizardillo — you have some great shots and I love seeing the birds from a different part of the world. Mine are a lot of eastern bluebirds which I’m a bit fanatic about.

So nice to read more about you, Laura! Best wishes!

@lizardillo @danielerossi Thanks guys! Really happy to hear that😊😊!

@KathrynAdebayo Thankyou 🙂

@hakepe @lizardillo thank you! 🙂

Thanks @David! And congratulations @Joel-Cockrell! I really love your tavern design.

I’m also a father and husband and often struggle with the notion of not having enough time to create art and “catch up”, so to speak. But I can only do what I can, and I’ve found peace in just enjoying the learning and getting just 1% better each day or month.

Also agree that fitness and outdoors have a huge influence on sparking creativity, especially nature walks!

Great interview!

@lizardillo & @Mara-Price Thanks so much!!!

Bruce Herman, the professor I quoted, let me know I missed a small but significant part of his quote:

"...when all the great artists leave your studio one by one, and then YOU leave-that's when you're doing your best work."

It's about losing yourself.
Thanks!

@Gaelle-Grizzly I loved your interview. 🙂 Can't wait to read your illustrated novels! Hope my intro wasn't too cheesy. 😆

Inspirational interview, and beautiful artwork! Thanks for sharing...
