Howard, I really appreciate your relentless pursuit of creativity. When I was young I thought creativity had to be spontaneous and non-intellectual. For me now, any effort I put forward to challenge my own beliefs and philosophies in the creative arena has been time I'm glad I've taken.
Being that you have achieved much in the meticulous and detailed aesthetic , I think you are an ideal guy to push the other way. I do believe this is an excellent way for each of us to find our own personal middle ground or place in our art that is very much our own.
I have personally taken one of your shop mantras (that I saw on your wall in a pic) as my own and it seems valid no matter what aesthetic you shoot for:
"Take the time"
Thanks for your inspiration,
Sam
