"He was only a fox, like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world." - Antoine De Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince

I have been in person for training all week and I am exhausted so nothing new has been made but here is something I made a year ago. I drew this in my notebook then made it all awesome and digital! FYI - as I get comfortable on this site, it will be flooded with giraffe things! :P They are the best animal ever!

"Keep your head above the rest, like a giraffe in the wild."

"Il y des fleurs partout pour qui veut bien les voir." - Henri Matisse

Translation: There are always flowers for those who want to see them."

I got this tattoo on when I turned 30 as a reminder that even in hard times, there's always something beautiful. For the record, I actually did not like Henri Matisse's work in undergrad art history classes :-P but this quote always resonated with me.

This is one of my favorites:

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open" - Martha Graham

Art AND quotes?! Ambitious 😁
