Pencils and fire

Great artists don’t draw all day.

They draw a lot. When they’re tired of that, they read about drawing. When they’re tired about that, they think about drawing. When they’re tired of that, they do something else.

All in service of their craft, for its own sake, and for those they toil for.

It’s okay to put the pencil down so long as the fire keeps burning.
