I love these words you shared - "Art (life!) is not about perfection! It's about learning and trying and discovering -- all of which requires getting out of one's comfort zone." Thanks for encouraging me as a writer.

These lines resonate with me: "Which means every book is a discovery, and he makes lots of mistakes, experiences anxiety, and eventually, if he keeps at it, finds the way to tell the story." This is the way of life: discovery, mistakes, anxiety, moving on. I am fascinated by this illustrator and do want to check out his books. Have a wonderful weekend.

And the fact that you didn't find intimidation but connection is wonderful. Amazing art. I want to check out his books.

I can see that exploring an artist's perspective would be a huge asset to you as someone who works on the word end of picture books. (Maybe someday both?) <br /><br />At this time in my life, I relate it to the Bible art journaling I began this spring. I've subscribed to a YouTube channel where an artist shows us many interesting techniques and works with media I've never heard of. I'm loving it!

You'll have to let me take a peek at this magazine. In the many years I've known you, you step out of your comfort zone regularly... do you like it... sometimes yes sometimes no... but you're making the effort to grow.
