booth at one of these places on the
weekend and kind of ‘grind it out’
with prints,” he said. “That’s some-
thing that I’m still working on.”
Oddly enough, while Lee hopes
to make a living from his art, at rock
bottom, that’s not what it’s all about
for him.
“For me, it’s about my own jour-
ney, for the lack of a better word. It’s
everything I do, my passion, my life. I
don’t care if I ever sell a painting or a
drawing or anything that I have as far
as my art. [Not] as long as I’m getting
something out of it, and I’m doing
something almost every single day.
That’s the main thing — it’s a passion
and a gift I have that makes me feel
alive. And if an audience gets it, it
means a lot more, sure. I don’t know
how many artists we would have —
and it doesn’t matter what area it’s
in — continually doing what they
are doing unless there was money
involved with it. Take money out
of the picture and how many artists
are still pursuing it? I would still be
pursuing it without the money. And I
can tell you that because I’m a starv-
ing artist.”
