Subject: Goodbye Artists
and although I’m feeling shy.
I couldn’t leave you all
without saying a quick goodbye.Our lives our short,
but this industry is quite small.
it’s only a matter of time
till again I see you all.
Remember to kick ass
in all that you do
otherwise you’ll get a blank stare
if asking to… refer you… ?
Anyways… I just wanted tell you all how honored I was to work with you all. Stay true to what you love and never let the other BS get in the way of your art. With so many artists and mentors with so many ideas, I see so much potential for this medium, one that can alter the course of this funked up world. I hope you all find the opportunity to explore your potential… well… I know you will, but I hope it’s sooner rather than later.
For those that don’t know me, you think I’m just being cheezy, but for those that do… you know to take me sincerely.
Love n Respect,
P.S. Please forward to others that would like to stay in touch. Also, below are some inspirational links I wanted to post in the trivial lists, but I didn’t want to overflow the already abundant content.
