My best advice: win little battles. Get in the habit of winning, of shipping, of having customers that can't live without you. Once you've demonstrated you know how to do the art, then go after the windmills.

Not only are bloggers suckers for the remarkable, so are the people who read blogs.

Art is a human act, a generous contribution, something that might not work, and it is intended to change the recipient for the better, often causing a connection to happen.

In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.

The rules are now clear: no one is going to inform you, but it's easier than ever to inform yourself.

The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.

If you take action, you will be judged. There's no way around it. The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored. Up to you.
