I also have over 2000 books in my possession and now feel I am not alone with my passion for art books. These videos are such a gift for us aspiring artists. I am so grateful. Don't know if this is politically correct.. but God Bless You for sharing your enthusiasm and your personal space!!!

    You’re right: Envy eats away at our souls. One of the “deadly sins”. I always take the idea that, I’m the one benefitting from being around someone who has it all together. But, I have experienced the kind of envy that is so destructive from a “best friend”. It wasn’t pretty to be around someone who’s always “checking out your stuff”, rather than being a true friend. You are not the stuff that you’ve accumulated over the years. It is merely a product of your productivity. Very nice studio! “I sure wish mine was that nice !”……….Just joking, of course.

    As long as your studio does not contain wide windows through which natural light can enter, it is considered to be of no value at all. Daylight is very necessary for the studio, otherwise it is considered a dark cave.

    watching this gets me both really excited; and really sad too. Like so many would-be Illustrators/Artists, this studio really embodies what I used to dream of attaining someday: but now I realise that it is too late for me to ever know what having a space like this to work in; would feel like. You have to EARN a studio like this, but so many of us get 'blown-off' the path along the way, and end up stopping drawing for some reason or another (usually from having sub-standard training and teaching in the first place) - I did - and now I'll never have the tower of drawers filled with my back-catalogue of works. I am bouyed though at seeing that at least SOMEONE out there has managed to keep it up over the long years - to persevere and reach those heights of skill and experience: I wish I'd had Jeff Watts as my teacher!!!
