My name is Wally Knott, I am an artist and I've been doing that since I was about
five. I'm also a Sky Capitan; I've been doing that for 30 years. What I like about being a Sky
Captain, what I find interesting, is dealing with people. My job has helped create a lifestyle
that I really enjoy and enables me to do my artwork as well. You have to put yourself
in a mindset, where you want to go and tell yourself, I want to get there no matter how
long it takes. I'm just going to keep building little by little, putting a block here, a
block here, a block here until you get to the pinnacle. What I love about being an artist
is no matter what kind of stresses I'm going through or problems I have, or challenges
and obstacles I have in front me, when I'm doing my art, it's like meditation. If there
was a way that I could get around paying for gas, parking, sitting in traffic, I would
feel a little more relaxed and I would have more time to spend with my family and with
my art. At the end of the day, that's what my life is really all about.
