“To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.”
– Kurt Vonnegut
“I found this quote last year after I was made redundant from a stressful job. I’d started my career as a graphic designer, and though I’d moved into other areas, art was never far from my thoughts. Over the years I’ve used it to relax and escape work pressures, and this quote perfectly summed up what it has done for me. It also helps me to push through any blocks I have when designing now. Whether I develop an idea or put it aside, it’s an evolution that makes me stronger.”
