Deep inside, I don't consider myself as an artist but rather as a curious person with an artistic inclination. Since I am not an artist in the typical sense of the word, I don't have to play by the rules, I am not bent on making art in order to make money. I'm always motivated and inspired, it comes naturally to me, I guess. There is just so much beauty in this world to not feel motivated to capture it or interpret some of it. When I'm not drawing I feel fine, if I don't feel like drawing I stop, I can go without drawing for long periods of time (provided I'm doing something that pleases me just as much)

I have never gotten over the hump, in fact, I circumvented the hump, I don't make a living as an artist, most people think I do but I don't. Although I have worked as a graphic designer in the past, I don't do anything remotely as artistic to make money anymore.

I lack the patience and the discipline necessary to repeat myself day and night to please other people so I never really pursued it as a full time profession. I've been more interested in drawing for my own pleasure and stopping whenever I feel like it, so I do other stuff to earn a living. I am not an example to follow, what I do is artistic suicide. Perception always beats reality.
