Ira Glass: This is really important

Someone posted this on Facebook today and I had to share it. It's a wonderful quote by Ira Glass (a personal hero of mine) about being a young artist.

READ:


This is very real for me- I wonder why the things that I like are so much better-more interesting, engaging, dynamic- than the things I make. If I wasn't me and I saw my work would I even like it? Would I even care to look? There have been times when I have stopped making things altogether because I didn't think that what I was doing was intelligent or beautiful or original enough.

That is what 100 drawings is about. Just making stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. Thanks, Ira.
