"what would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?"

i am fortunate in my profession/ schooling to be surrounded by bounds of absolutely brilliant people on a daily basis. it is probably quite illegal for me to be posting their work here without their permission, but i will at least try to serve them proper credit. the first two photos are by sasha holoversa and the bottom two are by david czyz. two people i highly admire for their talent, yet they do not know this. to these people, these works are simply sketches, not finished pieces. to me they are masterpieces that i could only strive toward. t

the art world is so damn intimidating if you let it be so.

then i see this poster design by nick rose and i am reminded:
i need to stop spending all my time admiring the lives of others and wishing i had the talents, lifestyle, mindset, morals, looks, sense of style, money , prerogative, way with people, or friends that they have. i believe it is not only fine, but completely necessary to look to others and see the good in them and try to transfer some of that to yourself. its called change and theres nothing wrong with that. but theres a certain amount of first hand experience and living that must be done to get the ball rolling.

so kudos to you great people, now its my turn.
