I always think about something the painter Frank Auerbach said in an interview: style is not something you adopt, it's what you do in a crisis!

It made me wonder if it is possible to succeed if you do not have a recognisable style or signature! Perhaps I should ask my ibrain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10986489952381383796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073689191105375743.post-71378533320704536132014-11-10T18:41:40.365-08:002014-11-10T18:41:40.365-08:00ʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ·.•*•♫°•♫·.•ʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ ʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ·.•*•♫°•♫·.•ʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ Sadamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072887743830381833noreply@blogger.com
