Kasey's Final Push will ask the question, if you don't create your art in your own unique style, then who will? Quotes: "I hate quitting and giving up on things. I will torture myself mentally to finish any art project, it seems." "I am not unfamiliar with art block, unfortunately." "My art style is definitely a Frankenstein monster of all the influences and things I enjoy in life." "If you wait until you're ready, it's probably never going to happen." "Go for a hike. Go out and see the world. I think the biggest inspiration you can get for your art is having experiences." "If you're not going to do you, then who's going to do you?"
