So many new creators equate the cost of their tools with their ability to create, and this is so wrong!

Sure, you don't use a hammer to drive a screw, proper tools are necessary; but you should never feel discouraged by not being able to afford high-end tools or that you simply should not even try to create if you don't have the latest/greatest thing talked about online!

The history of art is filled with glorious examples of things created with what we would call "primitive tools", the difference is the mind and spirit wielding those tools, not the cost of them!

Here, I offer my perspectives on the value of good tools but also the drive to create with whatever we have available to us. If the fire burns hot enough, you'll get cooking!
