Unsolicited Advice I: On Art
5 years ago
General
1. Learning to draw isn't that hard: it only takes a few thousand hours of practice.
2. The most wretched piece of hackwork is worth more than the most incisive piece of criticism, but there's always room for improvement.
3. Creating and drawing your own characters is one hell of a rush, but messing with other people's characters is fun, too.
4. Creating cartoon pornography calls for a degree of shamelessness that one could easily mistake for courage.
5. What we desire is rarely politically correct.
6. The creative process is rooted in desire, wish fulfillment, anger, ambition, loneliness -- everything but satisfaction with one's life.
7. Turning weaknesses into strengths is the story of art.
8. You'll never know anyone's fantasies better than your own.
9. A blank page is a world that you get to create.
10. When you have nothing left to get off your chest, stop drawing.
