The beginning of my new book: Daily Artist Quotes #1

(C) Andre Allen 2009


Why must I keep drawing? why must I keep failing..?
each stroke tries to improve something; to defy the limits of possibility...

As soon as I take my hand from the page and turn away, it loses all it's appearance, and it becomes nothing like what I've drawn...

The artist must be many things, perhaps everything: A rock, a leaf, a lawyer, a spaceship-- whatever it may be. From out of the depths of insanity even to the most hyper-realistic thought. He/ she must engage, and embrace. That is how we learn, and what makes our work stand out...
