Here’s a quote I turn to at times when I feel lost with my art:
“Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all the other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do.
.
Make good art.
.
When things get tough, this is what you should do: Make good art. I’m serious. Husband runs off with a politician — make good art. Leg crushed and then eaten by a mutated boa constrictor — make good art. IRS on your trail — make good art. Cat exploded — make good art. Someone on the Internet thinks what you’re doing is stupid or evil or it’s all been done before — make good art. Probably things will work out somehow, eventually time will take the sting away, and that doesn’t even matter. Do what only you can do best: Make good art. Make it on the bad days, make it on the good days, too.”
The quote is taken from fiction author Neil Gaiman’s beautiful and inspiring commencement address at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where he shares advice he wished he knew when he was first starting his writing career. If you haven’t listened to it - do go and look it up!
This is a snippet from my next Skillshare video, where I share tips and advice on how I’ve navigated my path on being a full-time artist the past 7 years.
