Anyone can say they are a sage and claim to have the wisdom of the ages, but to be the real deal you’ve got to have proof. Viktor Koen has just produced his own. The illustrator and chairperson of SVA’s BFA Illustration and BFA Comics programs believed that since no one else was offering sage advice about those respective fields, he would produce a guidebook, Free Artvice (and Viktorisms), which he is providing to his students as a back-to-school extra. The book includes 50 Solomonic words of wisdom, out of which I asked him to select 10. Here are 13.
Enlightenment, here we come.
