    Its good to see that you are humble enough to appreciate the works of others , but now its time to let loose your unbridled ego , there is nothing you cant do . Most good artists are pretty obsessive so they never give up on their quest of their holy grail - artistic gratification - thats right , no matter how good they seem to be to you , they all believe their artistic promised land lies just around the corner. For every success there are piles of trial & error , every bit of which goes into the learning process - its all about the journey . Like with life, one has to risk the chance of a good result, to push through the boundaries of what you thought you could do . And grow .

  2. So, you're saying I've let myself in for a life of perpetual disappointment and anxiety...

    Thanks, that sounds GREAT!
