The minute there's a map, there is no art. Paint by numbers is not art. Paint by numbers is a mechanical activity.
Art is the act of navigating without a map.
Human nature is to need a map. If you’re brave enough to draw one, people will follow.
If you hesitate to map out your future, to make a big plan or to set a goal, you've just gone ahead and mapped your future anyway.
There's no map for being an artist.
It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. Stop settling for what's good enough and start creating art that matters.
