Chuck Close on Inspiration

Fri 04/09/10

Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get the work done. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lighting to strike you in the brain, you’re not going to make an awful lot of work.

    Great quote. GREAT quote. Something I really need to take to heart, too, because I can have a tendency to put things off if I’m not feeling “inspired.”

    Sometimes, waiting for inspiration is an excuse to procrastinate.
