Thanks for the great post

The quotes and commentary here really resonated with me, particularly Close’s self-proclaimed laziness and impatience. I love that he takes these shortcomings and works them into a process that sets his work apart. As a budding web designer, I find it’s so hard not to wait around for a muse to strike, or tell yourself that maybe at 3AM you’ll feel more like working. Even though I know that having a process is key, articles like this are great inspiration to keep with it when my motivation is waning. I also love finding a connection with a successful artist working in a different medium - it feels like we’re all going through the same struggles.
