Poor artist

I feel like giving up so many times. But something within me makes me keep trying. There is no feeling like the freedom of being able to devote my life to something that I have wanted all of my lif... Continue

Poor artist

Your statement was very positive and inspiring. That is the way I need to continue to think in order to prosper in this world as an artist.
