I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood. ↗

I have been in love with painting ever since I became conscious of it at the age of six. I drew some pictures I thought fairly good when I was fifty, but really nothing I did before the age of seventy was of any value at all. At seventy-three I have at last caught every aspect of nature–birds, fish, animals, insects, trees, grasses, all. When I am eighty I shall have developed still further and I will really master the secrets of art at ninety. When I reach a hundred my work will be truly sublime and my final goal will be attained around the age of one hundred and ten, when every line and dot I draw will be imbued with life. - from Hokusai’s ‘The Art Crazy Old Man ↗

As my early drawings warned me, where humans go, lions and tidal waves follow. ↗

I like the performing part, it gives me a huge rush but it still makes me nervous. Being in front of large crowds is intimidating to me and I feel myself withdrawing. ↗

Regarding the creative: never assume you're the master, only the student. Your audience will determine if you're masterful. ↗

It takes more drawing to tell a story in pantomime. ↗
