Or teaching at SCAD. Quote: I did none of these things and still found a way in.

If someone thinks otherwise I'd like to hear/read your counter-points. _________________________ Check out my crap.

He's essentially saying to build yourself a box and nail yourself inside. This is the kind of thinking that keeps George Romero from doing anything other than zombie movies. _________________________ "The trouble with being a ghost writer or artist is that you must remain anonymous without credit.

Yea, I took that part as maybe focus in or trim the fat for a phase at least, but not over life. So I could totally see where you're coming from on that part. Was there anything else? _________________________ Check out my crap.
