Spend one more day in pursuit of art that only you can produce, and somewhere, someone is envying your courage to do just that.

If you haven't proclaimed it in your own life, do it now. Say, "I am an artist.

When we give ourselves permission to go wherever our outlandish thoughts take us, we feel that rush of creativity and excitement.

If your art is calling to you, its doing so for a reason. You are feeling a pull toward something for which your soul is yearning.

It's ever so fun and fulfilling to be clever, but more lasting and effective to be consistent.

As artists, it is our job to question the rules and ask if they are relevant or outdated, necessary or arbitrary, helpful or oppressive.

When you find your passion, turn a deaf ear to the naysayers and follow your dreams.

Putting our art out there is one of the biggest risks we can take. It's a special kind of vulnerability. It takes guts to be an artist.

As with everything else, the more we separate ourselves from each other, the weaker we become.
