How to Feel Miserable as an Artist (or what not to do)
- 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.
