This has been a good listen in the studio. Accurate? Painfully so. And it's free! Thanks to your public library . . .

truth.

"Artists don’t get down to work until the pain of working is exceeded by the pain of not working." 

   -Stephen De Staebler

 

"This is a book about the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and about the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. David Bayles and I are both working artists, grappling daily with the problems of making art in the real world — the observations we make are drawn from personal experience, and relate more to the needs of fellow artists than to the interests of viewers."

   -Ted Orland
