HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS AN ARTIST
- Constantly compare yourself to other artists.
- Talk to your family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
- Base the success of your entire career on one project.
- Stick with what you know.
- Undervalue your expertise
- Let money dictate what you do.
- Bow to Societal Pressures.
- Only do work that your family would love.
- Do whatever the client/customer/gallery owner/patron/investor asks.
- Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.

chris those are really cool. What cool gigs to get, too. I can't wait to see finished on your stuff! Self portrait is due Thursday.
I think after this assignment we should just make them due every 2 Mondays so we have the weekends. I was also thinking the next assignment should be something involving children. Someone said "If you don't prove you can do it, they don't think you can do it." Or something like that. What do you all think? No rules really, just "must involve children figures".
Chris, they look great. I especially love the top one. I love the way you draw faces! i'm jealous!
P.S. I think the image involving children sounds great! and the every 2 mondays is a good idea too. What would we do without Cat?
