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.

do you mean coming up with ideas or the actual execution? When I get stuck on an execution, I look at my demo pictures and videos from this summer. Or i look at a painting I really like and I try to do something like it. Here is a link to my photos on Flickr, there are a lot that I took at the Illustration Academy. You can look at the demos there for inspiration: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tactra/sets/
