Description
I made three very alike little drawings - nearly copies of this one. They are only slightly different; the trick is, the other two are travelling to two cities of this lovely world, as some surprise postcards to the people I like
The words belong to the mighty wordsman Samuel Beckett. This could seriously be my family motto.))

This is pretty solid advice. Trying your hardest and getting a 50% is still better than giving up and getting a zero.

Dude! One of my most favorite quotes and your art complimented it perfectly. Fixed the punctuation though. It's literally how i've gotten everywhere in life.
Thanks!!

Are these your own words? Or are they quoted from somewhere? Either way, they came to me through a drawing on another website, and at the time I actually really needed them, so I'd like to retroactively thank you for that. This is a beautiful drawing, and seeing as people have already gotten it tattoo'd, it definitely seems to get a lot out of people.
Especially since it's been a few years since this drawing was uploaded ._.

No, they are Samuel Beckett's - and I do love the quote... and thank you so much, I'm really glad it spoke to you on some level!

I've read some of his poems, maybe I should read more. Thanks again for sharing and inspiring a lot of us, the way the message is relayed is just as important as the message itself, after all

I swear to god I would sell my soul to get this tattooed on me (with your permission, of course!) but alas, I live nowhere near any decent tattoo artists. I can but dream, I guess
Seriously though, your gallery is pure eyecandy, keep up the beautiful work my friend

Когда перееду-распечатаю и повешу на холодильник, ибо после такой картинки хреновым день точно не будет. А если и будет, то...fail better.)
Спасибо.

Oh, I would love to hang one of these above my table, so I could look at it every time I fail at something and smile. Then I would imagine myself as this everawesome and everboss owl, and after that I'd be ok again.

It would have been more effective, then, had I used my proper login and not an ancient one from many years ago! <3

I have just been talking about you with my art history friend, who always advises me the best routes around the ancient parts of Moscow)))

I want to see it ALL. ALL of it. Every last beautiful, broken, glorious, dark, stunning part of it.
It will probably be the first of several trips
