The thing that I learned early on is you really need to set goals in your life, both short-term and long-term, just like you do in business.

Art is craft: all art is always and essentially a work of craft: but in the true work of art, before the craft and after it, is some essential durable core of being, which is what the craft works on, and shows, and sets free.
