Art Biz coach
from Alyson Stanfield today
“When times are good, artists make art.
When times are bad, artists make art.
When time stands still, artists will continue making art.
Artists who are true to themselves do not make art for the marketplace, but for themselves–to start a dialogue with their viewers, their fans, and the world. They make art because they have something to say that is best said not with words, but through a creative act. They make art because they have to. The marketing stuff can come later. ”
“Never neglect the studio. Always return to your art. The disciplined practice of making art is mandatory. Everything else is optional.”
