Mandala #40: Person With Questions Revisited













"When you start to think of the arts as not this thing that is going to get you somewhere in terms of becoming an artist or becoming famous or whatever it is that people do, but rather a way of making being in the world not just bearable, but fascinating, then it starts to get interesting again." -- Lynda Barry

sometimes I try and think of what I can do to make my work more sellable but then I remember if I did that I wouldn't enjoy it anymore.

I love this quote so much -- so beautifully articulated.

This is so true. Art nourishes is most when we do it for love.
