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.

this turned out SO COOL! For some reason I want the blue sky to be a different color, maybe a more muted blue-green or something, but besides that I think it's great. Good luck!
i think i like this mostly because it is not like anything i have ever seen, especially from you. it has a freshness to it. i think for myself, the blue needs some help. i think that the eye travels the piece pretty well. the plane looks great but i wonder if the plane could be moved to the left a bit. right now there is a lot of weight on the right side of the piece and i wonder if it works against you, the plane is also zooming to the right and the woman on the bike is facing that direction as well. it makes you want to move off the page a bit. maybe some moving of elements or facing another direction or i am full of bologna. either could be possible. keep rocking, i know george is working you hard and i fully expect to see very frequent updates from you. stop playing kissy face with all those cute young men down there in florida!
Hey Ms. Heather. I think the poster looks great. I really like the movement you've established throughout the whole piece. The music lines were a great idea!
