How to Feel Miserable as an Artist

..or what not to do, underline all that currently apply:)

1. Constantly compare yourself to other artists.

2. Talk to your Family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.

3. Base the success of your entire career on one project.

4. Stick with what you know.

5. Undervalue your expertise.

6. Let money dictate what you do.

7. Bow to societal pressures.

8. Only do work that your family would love.

9. Do whatever the client/customer/gallery/patron/ investor asks.

10. Set unachievable/overwhelming goals to be accomplished by tomorrow.
