I got up there. I did it and — I'm like — I shocked myself. So I'm loving the art. I buy books about all different stories now and learn them.

What fraternities and sororities are about is to be there to give people that helping hand, especially the youth.

Whether I get adequate attention or not, people here do know the work I have been doing systematically and without compromise for over 40 years. I get tired of people making excuses for guys who don't continue the art because they can't make a living.

All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?

Treat a work of art like a prince: let it speak to you first.

What is art but a way of seeing?
