https://Art2Life.com - I remember it was hard when I started making art. It eventually got easier, but only sorta. The blessing and the curse of this art profession is that you never actually arrive. The more art I make, the less I realize I know. So improving over time and trying to be more attuned to whatever it is you are after always kind of remains a struggle. It is like a small battle in your studio.

And of course, it can easily be stopped by choosing mediocrity or settling for what you have done before. However, if you are up for it, you can hold out for something better and possibly outside your capability. I try for this, and I usually miss it, but regardless this goal is where the juice is. This intersection of faith and momentary brilliance is the sweet spot so many artists are after.

Today, I am talking with the brilliant entrepreneur and artist Chad Little. He is presently smack dab in the middle of this fight. His figurative work is already damn amazing, but as you will discover, he is not interested in staying where he has been. Instead, Chad is groping towards something more sophisticated. More elegant. This inspiring conversation reminded me of the importance of always trying to raise the bar with the art we make.
