    “Art & Fear” (David Bayles, Ted Orland)

    Still working on the bunny, but I wanted to drop a quick line about this book. I was looking for my wife’s old pregnancy books since she’s getting her motherly urges now that she’s pregnant again, anyway back on point, I found this book called Art and Fear that I had bought when I was in college. It was actually recommended to me by my old life-drawing professor. It’s a quick read only about 120 pages and full of really interesting content on the types of things that hold most of us back from really going out and being artists. It has helped me through some tough times and it’s funny that I ran into it today as things in my creative life are in my opinion looking better than they have in quite a while. Here’s a quick little excerpt from the book that I find quite amusing - ” Talent is a snare and a delusion. In the end, the practical questions about talent come down to these. Who cares? Who would know? and What difference would it make? An the practical answers are: Nobody, Nobody and None.” - Art & Fear p.28
