| Tomi Ungerer and Jules Feiffer |
I've admired Jules Feiffer's work since college and Tomi Ungerer's since grade school.
Both men embody putting your whole heart into your work. Daring to do what you want to do because you have no other choice. That doing anything else would be a life half lived.
These men, both in their early 80's now, spoke of the gift of age. Ungerer spoke of it as a ticking clock, that you start to realize your time is limited and you really need to get to work.
They also spoke to the fact that if you are doing what you love, you will never retire. Why would you want to?
These men, especially Ungerer, spoke openly about their life experiences and what those experiences brought forth in their work.
This morning, I've been reading more information about them on the Internet, and being even more inspired by their prolific careers and fearless creations.
Seeing wonderful events like this are one of the true gifts of living in New York City.
