WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
It’d have to be a quote by the great Moebius that I found in one his art books: “It is difficult to give any advice to aspiring artists. There are so many things one should say. It’s difficult to be brief. Every artist is different, and good advice for one artist is bad for another. My best advice would be, ‘Be what you must be, and do your best.’ Anything more precise, more specific cannot apply, because everyone is too different.”
