Norman,

I've just seen the thread. I think that it matters what you think and how you feel and not what others tell you.
Do whatever you ever wanted to do. I admire your skill to learn new things (your cars drawing).

A person never dies as long as he has something to live for. A person without interest in life merely existing. As long as you enjoy what you do and always strive for more I believe that this is the true meaning of a person.

Doing things without regret and pass your good qualities to others.

I am sure we will enjoy your art longer than you think.

Cheers!
