“Don’t listen to unimaginative naysayers when it comes to personal creative expression. At some point, there will no doubt emerge a conflict between the rules of instrumental mastery, and the need to follow one’s own intuition. Be strong! The only so-called advancements in art—forget about commerce—have come about when someone has either boldly modified or completely disregarded the norm. Those who deviate must stay true to themselves.” —Nels Cline

Amen! Artists are artists, no matter what their medium, or how they choose to use it. The artists who change the world, however, are the ones who are not afraid to think for themselves and create what they feel inside them.
