What it Takes

One Hundred and Ten days, living in your van on the streets of New York, Showering at the ny recreation centre, and hopfully a staff that treats you like your a human being as well others you meet there that stimulate your intellect. Thank God for all those people that help you get through it."What it takes", 34 people wanting you to draw there homes and businesses, and then a few hundred people that actually, buy some of your art, so you can cover expenses, then theres having two books of your drawings published in between,the sunny days when you have to be drawing."What it Takes",the people that operate the shops where you have to do your work, the people at the bars and restaurants that hook you up so you can actually afford being there, You all know who you are, the pain of the body hauling that cart, the load on your mind about the reasons why or why not you should be doing any of it, what does it take, way too much to ever want anyone you love to be doing it, so why is it that when its all done and over theres this great satisfaction within yourself and this overwhelming thankfulness to so many people that you know love you for doing it that makes you want to do it all over again
