Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
To all viewers but yourself, what matters is the product: the finished artwork. To you, and you alone, what matters is the process: the experience of shaping that artwork. The viewers’ concerns are not your concerns (although it’s dangerously easy to adopt their attitudes.) Their job is whatever it is: to be moved by art, to be entertained by it, to make a killing off it, whatever. Your job is to learn to work on your work.
Art & Fear
David Bayles, Ted Orland
If we throw up our hands when the going gets tough, we get what we deserve. So take a deep breath, do some gentle stretching, and make the world a better place. Do a favor for a stranger. Be kind when instinct calls for harshness. Question your assumptions. Make good art. Tell your loved ones how grateful you are to have them in your life. Lend a hand to those in need. Take real risks to do the right thing. Oh, and remember that in an age of acceleration, contemplation is power. The feed can only define you if you let it.
In fact, in many domains you can only develop situation awareness by acting, not by observing.
