The Gift and the Work by Emile Zola

"The Artist is Nothing without the Gift, THE GIFT IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE WORK" quote by Emile Zola. These are the following pages of my TRAVEL WITH MINNIE 2011 sketchbook. Mine and hundreds other sketchbooks are doing a "World Tour", in the USA and Canada, for several months, then they will rest permanently in the Broklyn Art Library, in Brooklyn, New York. This coming weekend, May 25th and 26th, they will be available for checking them out and reading at iam8bit, 2417 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. Come check it out!
