No one needs your art.
Imagine if Harry Potter didn’t exist. Pottermania—or Twi-hards, Gleeks, Trekkies, whatever—would’ve just flowed somewhere else—like water.
But you need your art.
If you don’t need it, it’ll be the worst thing anyone has seen—even to you. You need to need it, hunger for it.
What’re you passionate about?
Turn that passion toward yourself. This is the formula for better work. Just make better work—only strive for better, not perfection.
As Dita Von Teese famously said: You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.
Let them hate your peaches, but whatever you do, don’t hate your own peaches. Load them with passion and work them over and over. Make sure your fingerprints are all over them.
Start now. Or first thing tomorrow.
