If you happen to be in New York, next Monday lunchtime, Pat Cummings has invited me to give a talk at Parsons, New York. See - she's put up my whole name, in big letters!
Knowing our strengths, overcoming self-doubt, appreciating others and our context, and plain old plugging on are all part of it. It seems so obvious, even banal when put like this.
The brilliantly smart comic artist Jamie Smart puts it in much more colourful language. By the way he's also got a kids and adult version of his site and a bunch of wonderful characters, and kids books and comics and TV pilots and all.
And here are a few more serious words of his wisdom.... I couldn't have put it better myself! And yes it IS fun!
"Even though I look back and think much of my older work is pretty terrible, it is still essentially me, and it’s fascinating to watch how that’s evolved and become more distinct. That process never ends. You’ll die and never reach the pinnacle of what you’re trying to do, but that’s irrelevant.There’s no such thing as an end point with art, you’re going to keep going and growing and that’s the fun of it
