The path of an artist is not an easy one, sometimes you'll fail, but that's okay. It's always okay to fail. The trick to it all is to get back up, and dust off your knees. Being an artist to me means waking up every morning to sharpening my pencils, and pulling out the sketchbooks. It means putting countless hours to hone in on your craft. It means creating artwork that tells a story or that captures your audiences' mind.  It means, giving up weekends to practice a new art technique. It mean getting excited about doing art. That is what it means to me...
