I believe it is wonderful to live dangerously in this respect. But I think advising people to follow their bliss without being prepared for years of struggle and alert for disaster could be unhelpful.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-14238009549762987882011-08-05T10:24:27.555-04:002011-08-05T10:24:27.555-04:00@Christian - thanks!

This is an interesting response, untypical. I realise (I think?) that you are, in part, responding to this question in full knowing of the kind of light American culture puts on this particular notion. <br /><br />Would you endorse the perhaps more straightforward "follow your bliss?"phiqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424182011653329283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-9983913127679443542011-08-04T21:48:26.270-04:002011-08-04T21:48:26.270-04:00Thanks so much, everybody.

What a great concept - the 10 Questions!<br /><br />I can't pass up the opportunity to second his statement about James's generosity. Not only is your art an inspiration to untold numbers, so is your generous spirit, James. I know I'm far from alone in saying I can't thank you enough. I look forward to my Gurney Journey fix daily! <br /><br />BTW, I received 41 Illustrators and How They Work as well as the Loomis book on figure drawing earlier this week. I probably wouldn't have known about the (re)publication of either, had it not been for this blog.Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-57528430618186204802011-08-04T12:14:26.987-04:002011-08-04T12:14:26.987-04:00ah haha! this is wonderful!
