Today I learned, actually discovered that I should create. I should Make Good Art. Neil Gaiman told me so.

Listen to the beautiful quote from his book that literally bumped into me this morning.

And when things get tough, this is what you should do.

Make good art.

I'm serious. Husband runs off with a politician? Make good art. Leg crushed and then eaten by mutated boa constrictor? Make good art. IRS on your trail? Make good art. Cat exploded? Make good art. Somebody on the Internet thinks what you do is stupid or evil or it's all been done before? Make good art. Probably things will work out somehow, and eventually time will take the sting away, but that doesn't matter. Do what only you do best. Make good art.

Make it on the good days too.

As kids we are all artists. When we grow up we loose this childish ability to create beautiful things just for the fun of it. We become so deadly serious and boring adults.

Artists of any kind are blessed individuals who managed to keep their inner child alive.

Go and make art. Release the child in you. Don't fear the consequences. Make Good Art!

Thank you, Neil. You are a gem.
