Ignore Everybody- Book by Hugh MacLeod

Checked out "Ignore Everybody- And 39 Other Keys to Creativity" by Hugh MacLeod from the Palmer Library. Check out where he has daily updates. A cartoonist, Hugh started making small drawings on the backs of business cards in pen. This is a great book for any creative type struggling with making it in the art world. Short chapters with illustrations peppered throughout, some are common sense and some come from years of trial and error. Chapters are titled things like, "If you can accept the pain, it cannot hurt you," "Nobody cares. Do it for yourself," and "The best way to get approval is not to need it." This book is a quick read and gave me alot to think about. Spent some time today taking pictures of work that wasn't on my site yet and uploading images. Spent time working on artist statement for the window I am going to hang tomorrow at the Feeding Tube Record Store. Made the decision to show more experimental work instead of playing it safe. Thanks for the kick in the ass, Hugh.
