my dad got me this as a random gift and its an amazingly written book. really helped me look at life in a different way and how art can aid all aspects of my life and not just be something that i want to do as a career. love that it as picture references in almost every page so you can understand what the writers are commenting on but also opens up so many wormholes of cool art and artists to research further into. i think everyone should read this even if you are not an artist!

Artists! I swear to you. This book seems extremely hyped, but it really will change your perspective on life and just creation as a whole. You'd be surprised what blockages you have deep down. Needless to say, I'm excited to see what shifts will happen with my art and my projects when I'm done with the book. Anybody else have any experiences with it?

The ultimate get-off-your-ass creative manual. It's SO GOOD and SO INSPIRING and I have demanded people's address at bars many times and ordered a copy for them on the spot. Plus reading about doing the work is a lot easier than doing the work (and still counts as work).

helps me to appreciate nature in a way i havent felt in ages. feels like im making art for arts sake again rather than for a purpose which is really refreshing and grounding

a 50 page physical and digital fashion magazine designed solely for people with visual impairments. a years worth of work was definitely worth it and i am super proud of it even though it was finished last year and i am still yet to release it to the world

been looking for a full time job for nearly 8 months now and just havent got anywhere despite 2 final stage interviews. feeling also like a bum and like im stuck in between periods of time. ready to move on from living with my parents at home but also not yet experienced in working life etc despite several loved ones and friends my age being more than experienced. trying to keep sane by being grateful for the amazing support system and living space I have rn and manifesting that the time will come soon
