Every moment is a choice...

Later is where dreams go to die...

Why the greats all made a book...

Imperfect action...

Alec Soth thinks in books...

The "what ifs" you're obsessing over...

The first modern artist book sold for $3.50.

Why every artist who matters made a book.

The two reasons you haven't made your book yet.

You're not living your life...

You'll never feel ready...

Originality Is Usually Borrowed Courage

You can't control what happens...

Stop Looking at Other Artists' Instagrams...

There is no "there."

I read every artist email that hits my inbox. I reply to maybe 5%

You'll regret the chances you didn't take...

You can't think your way to courage...

The unglamorous, daily practice...

Sometimes closing doors...

Nothing is permanent...

Something New

Your limits aren't fixed...

Every decision is a bet...

The rules of success...

The lies you tell yourself...

Where you spend your time...

If everyone agrees with you...

The distance between...

Hiding your work...

No one is coming...

Growth and comfort...

The story you tell yourself...
