Two-Headed Bug




You may see life as one two-headed monster and want to run. But don't judge too quickly, you may find out that things are better than they seem.

Last week I spoke at The 2008 Art Institute of California - Los Angles Graduation as the commencement speaker. It was a lot of fun. I met a lot of talented students and teachers there.
Often, parents ask me about their kids that are interested about the arts and whether or not this is a good time for them to be pursuing an arts career. My answer is always: If someone is passionate about their art, and will work hard, there has never been a better time in human history to be an artist!

Think about it, for years and years it was only a select few who got to choose what artwork the world would see (Magazine editors, movie executives, etc.) But now those barriers are crumbling and you can create and market your art all-online. Not only can you sell your work, but also you can talk to those people that are buying it! It’s amazing. This combined with a renaissance in virtual worlds and video games, creates an environment ripe with opportunity. So congratulations to all of you graduates. I can't wait to see what you create!
