“Drawing must seek interest, not admiration. Because admiration wears q...” — John Howe Quote

Drawing must seek interest, not admiration. Because admiration wears quickly.

What a folly to dread the thought of throwing away life at once, and yet have no regard to throwing it away by parcels and piecemeal.

Dragons and bridges are very much something out of fairy tales and fantasy.

Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness.

I have been illustrating Tolkien's books ever since I first read them, long before illustration became my profession.

I yield to no one in my admiration for the office as a social center, but it's no place actually to get any work done.

I have only admiration and affection for the people of Sherpa Capital, including my co-founder Scott Stanford.

Any talk of 'craft' makes me laugh. My music looks outward; it does not gaze upon itself in admiration. Artisanal is for cheesemakers. I don't know anything about music theory. Every time I approach my guitar, it's like the first time. There's no craft in that.

One of the things I am grateful for is that I was able to make contact again with Khun Vichai and work with him again. I still have an awful lot of admiration, warmth and respect for how he worked. I still feel that connection to the people I worked with at Leicester.
