Motivation

I'm often asked about motivation: how do you find it, where does it disappear to?
My answer is always the same: stop looking and/or waiting for it,  just show up. 

Physically take yourself to the place where you create, go through the mechanics, and don't think too much... motivation and inspiration will find you. As an artist, it's what gets me out of bed every morning. It's the possibility that something good and unexpected will happen on the easel.
That, and coffee.
