Well Who Are You? I Really Wanna Know...

Just figured I'd throw in a last minute thought to close out the year...

As we come to the close of another year, we inevitably find ourselves in a state of reflection. We all aspire to do things in the future and it is not only fitting, but also important, that we give consideration to the preceding year of our lives. In order to go where we wish to go and become who we wish to become, it’s important to understand where we have been and who we are. As Roger Daltrey so eloquently screamed, “Who are you?”

I am an artist. My creations are made sometimes to convince, sometimes to inform, and sometimes for the sheer joy of engaging in creation. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, an artist is defined as “one who is adept at something”. Bearing that in mind, I present a quote from Typographer Eric Gill that I feel is relevant.

“The Artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist”

In this coming year that we are all about to begin, may we continue to develop our own crafts and get closer to our goals. I look forward to another year with my friends, co-workers, colleagues and family and wish you all the best of times ahead.
