After
reading “Drawn to a Larger Scale” by Alex Williams I was surprised how many
celebrity names were dropped. I thought the story was a little pretentious and
had a hard time caring about the subject but I pressed on and read the whole
thing.
I
suppose I find the main character interesting in that he was able to work himself
up into the “in crowd” with mostly nothing separating him from other artist but
his mentioned personality. The main character had a colorful history from gang
infested streets to my poo don’t stink sophistication.
I
guess the moral of the story Is to do what you like and enjoy doing. Eventually
if you do it well enough you might find a way to make a living from it. Scott Cambell was able to do this and expressed
this view by saying even if the celebrities did not like his art he would still
be able to make a living giving tattoos.
