The artist is a sacred being. Allow me to share with you a story of an encounter with a great artist who I’ve worked with for years. It took me a while to coax it from him. (This is not unusual, as the mind often hesitates and freezes in the first few meetings). But when […]
A few years ago, I had flown out West to meet with a client. We had been working together on the telephone for some time. I recall the first few sessions we had on the telephone. He couldn’t clearly articulate what exactly it is that he wanted, or why it is that he […]
