Art Is A Personal Gift That Changes

Art Is The Work Of A Human, An Individual Seeking To Make A Statement, To Cause A Reaction, To Connect. Art Is Something New, Every Time, And Art Might Not Work, Precisely Because It's New, Because It's Human And Because It Seeks To Connect.

The Problem With The Race To The Bottom Is That You Might Win

If You Speak Up Online And Your Ideas Have Currency, People Are Going To Show Up And Want To Connect With You. What We Need More Of Are People With The Guts And Emotional Labour To Do This. The Greatest Shortage In Today's Society Is An Instinct To Produce.

Sooner Or Later, The Ones Who Told You That This Isn't The Way It's Done, The Ones Who Found Time To Sneer, They Will Find Someone Else To Hassle. Sooner Or Later, They Stop Pointing Out How Much Hubris You've Got, How You're Not Entitled To Make A New Thing, How You Will Certainly Come To Regret Your Choices. Sooner Or Later, Your Work Speaks For Itself. Outlasting The Critics Feels Like It Will Take A Very Long Time, But You're More Patient Than They Are.

It's Entirely Possible That There Won't Be A Standing Ovation At The End Of Your Journey. That's Okay. At Least You Lived.
