art & fear

To all viewers but yourself, what matters is the product: the finished artwork. To you, and you alone, what matters is the process: the experience of shaping that artwork. The viewers' concerns are not your concerns (although it's dangerously easy to adopt their attitudes.) Their job is whatever it is: to be moved by the art, to be entertained by it, to make a killing off it, whatever. Your job is to learn to work on your work. (from "Art & Fear" by David Bayles & Ted Orland)
