write him
Ah, my sincere, albeit simple minded friend. I can’t write someone and tell them how to be an artist. It comes from within. It’s an epiphany of sorts, where one’s creativity, one’s self actualization as a human spirit evolves from the very essence of their identity as a sentient being. I’m afraid you’ve seen too many matchbook covers advertising the “Famous Artists School” where they ask you to copy a picture of a dog. If only art was that easy.
