Pick of the week: Learn from quotes

In lieu of my recent absence, I shall dedicate some favourable quotes from three significant illustrators who will give all of us better ideas about editorial illustration field. 

1. 
   “Freedom to express a visual opinion on a wide range of subjects is for me the reason to become an illustrator. Illustration has the power, potentially, to move people emotionally and challenge them intellectually. By its very nature, illustration can question conventions and generate reactions. In a society such as ours, where art is frequently undervalued, this carries an unparalleled power, given the exposure to a wide audience." Anita Kunz commented on idealism and social responsibility from the viewpoint of an editorial artist. 
   
   
   
   

2. Brad Holland commented on image 
   establishment within the illustration field: 
   “It wasn’t easy. Society’s paved with stepping stones. Follow them and things come to you as they’re supposed to. Skip a few stones and it’s an unpaved road." 

3. “One of the most productive conversations you can have in this world is between yourself and your subconscious—except you can’t converse with your subconscious in words, because it doesn’t use words. You have to find out what vocabulary it uses and converse with it that way.” (Brad Holland)
   
   

4. 
   
   
   
   
   "I never draw from life. You can either 
   draw someone carrying a suitcase from
   life or from sketchbooks, or, like me, you 
   can imagine what it feels like...It's like 
   acting and I get to play all the parts." 
   (Quentin Blake)
