So, what’s it really like being an artist?

A comprehensive look at what it feels like to be a working creative.

Being an artist is akin to taking off all of your clothes to the skins and walking around Times Square presenting yourself to everyone, not only hoping that they like what they see, but that they’re also inspired by it.

When they tell you that they’re not impressed or inspired (and may even be offended) by your nakedness, you go home to do a few push ups so you can hurry back to Times Square to do it all again.

The beautifully tragic thing about this absolutely mental way of life is that you have no desire to do anything else.

That’s it.
