The Artist's Survival Kit

During the conversation we had at the end of class today, I decided that Keri Smith's Artist's Survival Kit would be a really fantastic thing to share with you all. A friend showed it to me sometime in high school--it's a really great set of PDFs you print out and cut up into little cards/notes/whatever. There are "What to do When You're Stuck" cards, a "Permission to Make Mistakes" card, and a "How to Feel Miserable as an Artist" card, among others. I like the rest of Smith's website, too (particularly her 100 ideas and her collage experiment).

Sooo true, all of these things. I feel less embarrassed by what I revealed in class when I read this- we all go through these types of problems when making projects.
