I was giving a talk about my books the other day and I mentioned these quotes; the two at the top are on my drawing table - they keep me going.

Welcome to my blog! I want to share what I've been up to lately. The image above, which is the wraparound cover for Scrappy Jack a book I wrote and illustrated. It's a biography of my dad, who had plenty of stories to tell and he lived to be 100 years old. The original version called "So, That's That!"was given to him on his 100th birthday many years ago. That's me and my brother, dad, and two sisters in the junkyard where I grew up. The best playground any kid could ask for!
I like the Goethe quote. It's very true - if you persevere with something then good things will happen.
ReplyDeleteAs a footnote, a study has shown that it takes exactly 10 years to become successful at something. Nobody knows why, but I suspect it's because, by that time, almost everyone else has given up!
