My advice is to stop worrying about the money you may or may not make from your #art. Stop thinking of it as evidence of whether you are an #artist.
There are so many ways to make money if you need it. That’s a separate thing. Keep it separate.
If you want to make art, do it.

You know someone who needs a #RAK. We'd love to challenge you to give a non commercial, artistic gift to someone this month.
Exchange #sketchbooks with a friend or family member to fill pages for each other. Return them at the end of the year as a unique, shared keepsake.

Do I suck?
It's a question every #creative person asks themselves occasionally. If you don't, you're probably not growing.
Wondering if you suck is pointless. It can only be defeating — which will make you suck more.
So, think less, talk less, judge less — and do more.

Becoming an #artist doesn’t mean quitting your job or taking a workshop or getting a degree. It doesn’t mean slogging or suffering either.
It means showing up.
Day after day.
Having fun until you get to where you’ve always dreamed of getting.
Then why not start today?

I took my #sketchbook down to sit beneath my elms. I began to #draw them. Just as these trees needed time to reveal their spring glory, my drawing emerged gradually. The trees had taught me their lesson: the most meaningful growth—in nature, in #art, in life—happens in its own perfect time.

My #creative brain didn’t come with an owner’s manual. So I wrote one. My book "You Do You" is available on Amazon.

When I #draw in my #sketchbook, I don’t try to address climate change or gender politics or corporate power. I'm not even trying to make something cool or attractive to look at. Instead, I just want to pull something authentic out of myself.

I’m happy to tell you, I have a new book. 🎉
It is a collection of my essays, some of which appeared in this newsletter over the last few years, and some of which I wrote for other purposes, and that you have almost certainly never seen before.
