“Art is really just problem solving in action. You start with a few lines, then you try to balance those lines with other lines compositionally, then you balance that with trying to explain a certain space or emotion….Perspective, composition, timing, and color theory are technical skills. You have a problem, and you have this toolbox full of techniques that you use to paint a totally unique bridge from an assumption to its implications.” – Seth Fisher

PSSSssst!

And don't worry, those recycled Facebook quotes will be coming just soon enough. :P

Let's Get This Party Started

Our first quote comes from my good friend:

"Sometimes you gotta give up because it's not worth your time. When the time arrives, then you depart to discover new possibilities in life. I'm out." - Jai (8/23/09)
I like it because it reminds me of the whole choice vs. destiny argument.  Sometimes you just have listen to the universe and let it decide.  As they say, don't fight the current.  Go with the flow.

Anyways, yeah, I'm not making any real original thoughts here, but the point is I like his quote.  Don't give-up the fight.  But when it's obviously not working out, move on to fight again.  Besides, it usually seems to be for the better.

Heads Up

I'm going to start off by recycling a bunch of quotes from my Facebook page.  Yeah, pretty lazy I know, but since I never log onto my Facebook account anyways, it doesn't count!

For the record, I'll be labeling any of the recycled Facebook quotes I post with, what else, "Facebook".  But don't worry, once I blow through those, I'll start stealin--*AHErm!  I mean, recycling quotes from places other than my Facebook page.

And I must confess, I don't intend on posting any of my own personal quotes.  Mostly because I'm not nearly creative enough, or more importantly, wise enough to come up with any significant words of wisdom.  But if anything does come to mind, I'll be sure to let you know!
