Magic and painting are a lot alike. You know, a lot of times, I just can’t paint. Really? When that happens, what do you do? When that happens, all one can do is struggle through it. I draw and draw, and keep drawing. Then I stop drawing. I take walks, look at the scenery, take naps, do nothing. Then after a while, all of a sudden I get the urge to draw again.
