"Here's the first artwork I ever made money on! When I was about 6 years old, my Aunt paid $5 for this. It made me realize I could get paid to do work I enjoy. This influenced me to become an architect. Those little things can make such a big impact. #artwillsaveyou" - Josh Brincko (Architect, Seattle)

People who view themselves as "creative" and those who view themselves as "not creative" alike can usually think back to a person who gave them a nod of encouragement or delivered a negative comment that set their creative destinies in motion.

One of our customers (and super hot models) shared a story that was a great example of this. It also reminded us of one of our favorite books, The Dot. Have you read it? Sure it's a kid's book, but adults will catch the warm fuzzies that might be missed on the younger folks ;)
