Once upon a long time ago when I was young and full of promise I bought this plaque at the Hallmark I worked for.

I was nerdy and awkward and in need of constant reinforcement. Hell, who am I kidding? Nothing’s really changed. Which is why I’m so glad I found this again!

The glass cover was broken but it’s still beautiful and now hangs above my workspace.

I think every artist has doubts of their greatness but it’s good to remember that if what you’re doing in the moment isn’t epic, the next time it may be. Don’t stop trying and never never stop creating.
