Question: What advice would you give to artists at the beginning of their careers?
" Go for quality. Learn the techniques. Keep going and by and large let your career take care of itself. This is contrary to present day fashion, but is for truth and in the long run that's all that counts."

- apologies; I wrote this quote down in my sketchbook when at college, but didn't note down the name of the book/paper I found it.
