The Year of Yes

Adventures in living affirmatively.

“MAKING ART IS DIFFICULT. We leave drawings unfinished and stories unwritten. We do work that does not feel like our own. We repeat ourselves. We stop before we have mastered our materials, or continue on long after their potential is exhausted. Often the work we have not done seems more real in our minds than the pieces we have completed. And so questions arise: How does art get done? Why, often, does it not get done? And what is the nature of the difficulties that stop so many who start?”
— David Bayles & Ted Orland - Art & Fear: Observations on the perils (and rewards) of ARTMAKING. (via eminentdisaster)
