Hello,
It’s time to address the elephant in the room...
Am I talking about the pandemic?
No.
Am I talking about national and political unrest?
No.
The NFL Playoffs?
Not even.
It’s time to address the idea of the “starving artist.”
For centuries, the myth of the starving artist has dominated our culture, seeping into the minds of creative people and stifling their pursuits.
But the truth is that the world’s most successful artists did not starve.
In fact, they capitalized on the power of their creative strength.
It’s time to debunk the myth of the starving artist by unveiling the ideas that created it and replacing them with fourteen rules for artists to thrive, including:
steal from your influences (don’t wait for inspiration), collaborate with others (working alone is a surefire way to starve), take strategic risks (instead of reckless ones), make money in order to make more art (it’s not selling out), and apprentice under a master (a “lone genius” can never reach full potential)Take a minute and watch the video above here.
It’s time to deconstruct the incorrect worldview of the “starving artist” and replace it with the truth: That Real Artists Don’t Starve.
Sincerely,
Jeff Goins
