    The sum of our artistic influences... and our life

    The endless daily creative defeats make me grumpy

    The endless daily creative defeats make me grumpy

    Only 1% of my stuff works and 99% of it is rubbish. It can effect me emotionally. I can get really grumpy when the creativity isn't going my way. But it's part of it. It's always been part of it.

    Balancing Sensible Self and Crazy Self (to pay bills and make art)

    I struggled for years trying to find the balance going to work and pretending to be sensible then getting home to get insane to make interesting things.

    Your old ideas that never found an audience are the most important

    It's something I've been rambling about recently, but it took 30 years to find an audience and none of the stuff I made over this time without an audience has gone to waste.

Darby is full of gems
