Dude! I can't agree more! There is something strange that happens when i say - i drawin answer to the question what you do... I can't explain it. It's like i'm doing some kind of witchcraft or something. I feel the same way for art as i feel for science. But i never heard someone to call a scientist talented... It's the same thing. You have to learn, study, practice, work like a madman, keeping your nose on the grinding stone till the end. Anthony Jones have this thing on his page- Talent is not given, It's earned. But people in the industry use this word to describe people like you and hardly me. Everyone else can't wrap their heads around the idea that we spent most of our time examining techniques, reading, practicing. We do not sacrifice goats in the bathroom in order to keep our magical powers. We sacrifice ourselves in order to become more than we are. Talent is just a wrong word used to describe the wrong thing. It's passion, nothing else. I admire people like you. Science, craftsmanship, art. These are things that require time to master. And mastery is what people see, the problem is that we do not settle down for the current status that we have in the matter of art or any other field. Heavy grind, tinkering always thinking is what is needed.
We are standing on the shoulders of giants, I hope one day we will be the giants that the next generation will stand on! And this can only be possible if we build ourselves. :) This is what we do all the time dedicating in art.
Great work!

Beautiful beautiful comment brother. Thank you for taking your time and writing all this. Totally agree. Sacrifice goats in the bathroom, that's a great one bro:D Gonna check out your blog! Following you for sure. All the best with your art!
When i hear that word... Something in me starts boiling, cause this word means that you devaluate my effort. The scary thing is when artist say that he is talented. What then? Especially a good artist.
I don't care if the one saying is just splashing buckets of paint on big canvases saying it's art... Cause even the insult to art is art... But If a skilled artist says that... It makes me sad
I actually think that my talent is waaaay smaller than lots of people who I know in arts but who never made it as high as me in the "industry" cause they are 1.part time and not serious 2.less original. Who cares after all we're good bro! :) Thanks again!
Is it like you have developed a need to create? To separate yourself from the world for X time, and be with yourself and the world that you need to create. There are a lot of ways to look at it, I usually ask my closer friends that use to create, why they do it, and what pushes them in the direction that they are headed.
