advice for artists

If you make something that isnt great or wonderful  in art the worst thing you can ever do is to waste time moping about it or crying. get off your butt and start something new...It is only canvas or paper or glass..nothing is sacred..even pretty parent scan squeeze out an ugly child, keep going at it until you hit your mark. Failure is the path to success, fail and fail again and get up and keep fighting. Edison tried 10,000 times to make the light bulb work. The single worse msitake you can make is to listen to other artists or worry about what they say...never listen to other artists..trust your own voice. artists are a jealous lot and if you work harder than they work and have some level of any success they will only try to knock you down..they are strange creatures. I stay away from artists--minus a small handful I trust
