“I had that morning gone to say my farewells to Broadhurst and to the RAF. I had made a point of going to HQ at Schleswig in my 'Grand Charles.' Coming back I had taken him high up in the cloudless summer sky, for it was only there that I could fittingly take my leave. Together we climbed for the last time straight towards the sun. We looped once, perhaps twice, we lovingly did a few slow, meticulous rolls, so that I could take away in my finger-tips the vibration of his supple, docile wings.” MadeTogetherLastsMorningSunGoneTakenSkySummerWingsFingersFlightAviationLast TimeFarewellComing BackVibrationsDocileSuppleMeticulousRaf Author:Pierre Clostermann
“I remember on a Friday afternoon getting a phone call from Grant Simmons saying, "Mike," we got to be pretty good friends; "Mike, the Sheriff is closing us down on Monday. If you'd like to drive into the studio tomorrow morning, you can have anything you want." So rather than go in and take home piles and piles of cels of Spider-Man what did I take home? Two pages of original art that got sent out to the west coast. Now of course if I'd have taken all the rest of that stuff home I could probably have retired a lot earlier.” IfsMenWantArtTwoHomeRememberCoursesStuffMorningTakenTomorrowPagesOriginalsWestPhonesStudiosGrantsAfternoonGood FriendCoastMondayFridaySpidersMikeRetiredClosingPhone CallsSpider ManWest CoastSheriffsTomorrow MorningOriginal ArtFriday Afternoon Author:Mike Royer
“All great tasks test our motivation. It's easy to court ideas over beers and change the world with napkin sketches, but like most things taken home from bars, new challenges arise the next day. It's in the morning light when work begins, and grand ideas (or barroom conquests) lose their luster. To do interesting things requires work and it's no surprise we abandon demanding passions for simpler, easier, more predictable things.” WorldIdeasHomeLightMotivationPassionNextEasyLosesChallengesInterestingMorningTakenEasierTasksTestsCourtSurpriseBarsAriseBeerChanging The WorldAbandonNext DayConquestPredictableInteresting ThingsNew ChallengesNapkinsLusterMorning Light Author:Scott Berkun
