I don’t know who to attribute this to, but I really like the message and want to share it.
“When you buy something from an artist your’e buying more than an object. You’re buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation.You’re buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You’re not buying just one thing, you are buying a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul … a small piece of someone else’s life.
