***NOTE*** Add in this is the revised and expanded Color addition“Author Todd Harry Lane gives to readers honestly and wholeheartedly in the pages of this book, sharing ups and downs and a fascinating life journey –– while exploring what it means to be an artist. As a polymath, Lane works –– and thinks –– in varied ways, always keeping an open eye on his/our world. The book is, in the end, a 'care package' for anyone with a creative spirit, a mixed palette of autobiographical text and reflections on art (from many personal works to art theory to mentors' advice), illustrated with the author's incredibly varied works, from sculpture to drawings to comic strips. Lane's expansive curiosity and repertoire, shared in these pages, should easily inspire anyone who puts brush to canvas, pencil to paper, or hands to clay. In fact, it offers something human, refreshing, and insightful to us all."––Naturalist Howard Youth (author of Field Guide to the Natural World of Washington, D.C.)Are you ready to turn your calling into an income-generating skill?Is there something in your life that fills you with a deep sense of meaning?
