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.

dammit! you are doing so well. it is always a pleasure to see your work. i should have had you do my lincoln piece! dang. great stuff. bottom one chuck berry? hmm. nice stuff man.
Wow Heather! These look so great! I especially like the bottom one (Sammy Davis Jr??). You've caught a great facial expression. That's the hardest part. Your colors are awesome too, you kept both faces full of color. Great job lady!
Very nice heather, I like how abe's head breaks the picture plane... it reiterates how ginormous this man was, and the vertical picture frame helps too... great stuff... keep em comin...
Heather, these portraits are badass!! The colors are great and the likenesses are right on. i'm glad you are getting so much good work accomplished. Looks like they are keeping you busy!
