    Dude, I love this video, I love your attitude . I started drawing about a year ago. Never took an art class until this past year and I find myself drawing all the time, mostly figures drawing, faces are my biggest challenge. "find something that drives you", find a mentor, "draw, draw, draw", "I want you to see what I see". These are great thoughts to live by.

    Very inspiring words. I too have a similar story. Comic books (the early Conan ones with the dramatic pen and ink), album covers, and then onto junior artschool, prior to college, I had 2 art teachers that changed my life and now 30+ years later I am still doing what I love to for a living. I've never had to "work" a day in my life. (although, being an artist is in fact hard work) Thank you for your post.

    If you ever leave art you can become a great motivational speaker. Your art is so good I love it, you definitely have become my mentor. Just keep it up, I am 60 years old an just get back into art, my career was that of a draftsman.

    Your motto "Draw, Draw, Draw" made me inspired. Since I read it in the Urban sketchers page, I have been drawing and sketching in any place and time on my sketch books. You become my strength. You have drawn me to the tribe of Artists. Thank you. God bless you. I hope one of my brothers from abroad will send me your book, "The life of an Addictive sketcher..." I will share a lot from it. Thank you so much again.
