OMFG! What a powerful statement: Because we, artists, have one thing in common: we have other artists as gods. Even if they are our friends!
Personally, as a self-discovery artist, I am in total awe of traditional artist, especially modern artists with all the distractions but finding nuggets of creativity within distractions that can also be inspirational, and most times surpassing what has been created before now.
I sincerely love creators of all realms.
