sleep artist iphone
Dawn is about luminosity and so is the iPhone... The little drawings of the dawn are done while I'm still in bed... If you're in my kind of business you'd be a fool to sleep through that... Artists can't work office hours, can they?
beauty hate artist
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
believe artist needs
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does; that's what counts.
artist able paint
What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
artist people saws
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, "I never saw that" - but that's what artists do.
mean artist good-art
Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.
teaching should-have mad
I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
technology media drawing
I thought the iPhone was great, but this takes it to a new level - simply because it's eight times the size of the iPhone, as big as a reasonably-sized sketchbook... Anyone who likes drawing and mark-making will like to explore new media.
eye heart hands
Once my hand has drawn something my eye has observed, I know it by heart, and I can draw it again without a model.
thinking mirrors looks
I usually only draw myself in down periods... I suppose that's why I often draw myself looking grim. I just think, 'Let's have a look in the mirror.' When you are alone and you look in a mirror you never put on a pleasing smile. Well, you don't, do you?
mother brother uncles
It's a myth that if you're liked by only four people it must be good. It might also be very bad: they might be your mother, your brother, your uncle and your aunt.
