"Talent and all that for the most part is nothing but hogwash. Any schoolboy with a little aptitude might very well draw better than I perhaps; but what he most often lacks is the tough yearning for realization, the teeth-grinding obstinacy and saying; even though I know I'm not capable of doing it, I'm still going to do it."
-M.C. Escher

Trading Addictions

As anyone who has spent any time painting can tell you, art supplies are expensive.  Finding the money in the budget to buy materials is really difficult.  So I decided to free up what I could by quitting my nasty habit of smoking, and am currently sixteen days nicotine free.  I've tried quitting many times in the past, and have not been very successful.  This time feels different though.  There is definitely something to the idea of trading an unhealthy addiction for a healthy one.

Just wanted to share that with everyone.  I will be posting more of my current works later today or tomorrow.  Until then, stay strong!
