Do the art you love to do, that you know how to do

I’ve been reading a book called The Complete Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and have been running across passages that really strike me. One of the ones I’m really in love with now is this:

“As artists we are first and foremost the origin of our work. Since each of us is one of a kind, that market for all it’s supposed predictability  is actually vulnerable  to falling in love with any one of us at any tme.”

I believe this is so true for every artist. Do the art you love to do, that you know how to to, and that you believe you can do, and and people important to you will love your art as much as you do.

    Your post is so inspiring! I love Julia Cameron and have studied her life history, I will definitely be buying that book. I saw your work in a shop in the Monte Carlo yesterday and was memorized. I wanted to stare at your posters forever. You are so talented and really have practiced doing the art you love.
