I think curiosity maybe my most overlooked gift! And I want
to take the moment to thank the Great Poobah, God, the Universe, the Higher
Power or whatever unseen force is responsible for instilling this most
magnificent curious craving in my soul! Time and time again I have been asked “How did
you do that?” And when I answer, I really do not know….I am not trying to hide
or protect a trade art secret. I really
do not know! So much of my art and my life is a
series of “I wonder what would happen…. if I do this” until I like what it
looks like (or I totally screw it up!) and I never can remember the exact thing I did…or
when I did it. I just had enough curiosity
to see what would happen if….
Over the years so many have asked me to teach/demo my
art. I cannot, I do not know how! How do I explain or demonstrate curiosity?
"Ants Marching" Dave Matthews Band
And all the little ants are
marching, Red and black antennas waving, They all do it the same, They all
do it the same way
Take these chances, Place them in
a box until a quieter time, Lights down, you up and die"
Dave Matthews
