Yesterday morning I found myself thourally entertained as I was watching an infomercial. I couldn’t break myself away from it and thought to myself, who watches these things, me, who believes these things, defiantly not me. The one I was watching was called Jeff Paul’s Shortcut to Internet Millions. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The guy must have spent a fortune putting this hoax together. What I have come to learn throughout my career and what I have learned from reading about   other people and watching their biographies is, THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS.

In order to be successful at anything, drawing, painting, sports, cooking, acting, you name it, it simply takes time, effort and determination. I have had many young artists come to me and ask, “how do I get better?” I tell them to draw a lot, explore and practice. I often get blank stares and the next question, “well, what’s the secret to drawing better?”  The answer is the same, draw a lot, explore and practice, there are no short cuts. In life, if you enjoy what it is you are doing, you will excel. Your passion is what will drive you to succeed in whatever it is you wish to do and simply remember…….

My new book, “Passion for Life,” is now available and shipping. I will also be exhibiting at the San Diego Comic-Con, booth H-06 at the end of isle 1000. Please stop by and say hello if you are attending. Also, as a reminder, if you or anyone you know wishes to learn all about Self-Publishing, I am conducting a three hour seminar with an industry printer on August 12th, more info here: http://www.facebook.com/l/;http://www.bit.ly/83mh5

Thanks for taking the time to read this and be sure to make it a great week.
