I think the goal of a true artist should be to come up with an idea that's never been done before. That's my definition of an artist.

Quote

Two things define you.
Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything.

On NC Wyeth

My appreciation for NCWyeth, not only as an artist but as a man. He was deeply dedicated to his profession, his home, his friends, and especially to his family, a family that has carried on in his tradition, thereby done doing him a greater memorial than monuments, plaques, or mere words.

Kindness

Kill them with your kindness.

It's important in these dark times to continue to show kindness to our friends and neighbors.

Ellsworth Kelly

"I realized I didn't want to compose pictures" he told the times a 1996. I wanted to find them. I felt that my vision was choosing things out there in the world and presenting them. To me, the investigation of perception was of the greatest interest. There was so much to see, and it all looked fantastic to me.

Notes to myself

Oliver Sacks

It is the fate - the genetic and neural fate – of every human being to be a unique individual, to find her own path, to live her own life, to die her own death.

Scatter joy to keep it

Scatter joy to keep it. happiness comes from spiritual wealth not material wealth happiness comes from giving not getting. if we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. to get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it.

John Templeton

My father didn't see himself as a revolutionary. He saw himself as extending paintings tradition into our time, to speak to us now, and I think we're still very much living in a time that needs him.

Modern art

I simply paint the life that is going on at the present - what we are and what the world is at the moment. That is what modern art is.
Jose Clemente orozco

Hemingway

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

Ayse Birsel

Why be limited by someone else's idea of doing things when you can come up with a much better solution..

Design

All design involves risk and Daring. After all, you are creating something new and original. You are courageous.

On designers
Only a small part of our responsibility lies in the area of aesthetics

Julia Cameron

This I believe is the central question upon which all creative living hinges. Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?

Contact with friends

To all my friends that think I've cut them off. We are adults and busy. No reason to be in constant contact with you to prove my friendship to you. Just know when / if you need me I'm here.

Photography is a memorial art. It selects a moment that is to be remembered, with the moments before and after falling away like sheer cliffs..

You as a student can influence just as much as a teacher in the classroom. You have to take advantage of the seat you are in, in the classroom.

On work

• Focus on interesting work, not title and compensation. More money and a fancier title rarely make us happy. Instead, look for autonomy, mastery, and purpose in your next role.

Whenever I'm faced with a tough business challenge, rather than trying to use some prescribed CEO logic, I tackle it as a design problem. That's not an inborn ability, it's a skill—OK, a mastery—learned over many years of doing.

Apfel on style

Style has nothing to do with how much you spend on your clothes. The most stylish people I have seen in my life were in Naples right after the second world war. They were all practically in tatters. But the way they threw themselves together and carried themselves, they really looked like a squillion dollars

The true method of knowledge is experiment

A designers thoughts on improvement

1. Verbal communication is just as important as visual communication.

2. I can't be afraid of change, and should design keeping in mind that everything is constantly evolving and plan to adapt.

3. I have a lot to learn but also a lot to offer.

4. Passion is key – in and out of work. Making time for the hobbies, people, and things that are important to me gives me more mental capacity to focus on design at work.

5. Run my ideas past people before getting too deep into them. Talking it out helps me make decisions faster.

6. Get opinions from people other than designers.

7. Always be open and aware, often times, inspiration doesn't strike between 9 and 5. (or when you are awake)

8. Stand up for good ideas – but don't be afraid to let go of ideas too. A new, better one will come along if this one doesn't work.

9. Change it up. Trying new tactics for brainstorming and leaving the office to work helps me stay inspired.

10. It's okay to be scared or nervous. It keeps things interesting.

Productivity

The key to increased productivity is quite simple: Focus on the few things that make the biggest difference. The difficulty is actually doing it.

Goodall

The sea is dark inky blue, then it rises up a clear transparent blue green, and then it breaks in white and sky blue foam. But best of all, some of this foam is forced back under the wave from which it broke, and this spreads out under the surface like the palest blue milk, all soft and hazy at the edge.

Samurai

So much about creating the life you want is about having the right positive mindset. I continue to come across people who defeat themselves before they even begin because they don't understand their own potential. What a shame.
