"Bad art teaches you as much as good art, maybe more."

-Jerry Saltz, How to Be an Artist

"Surely, your crappy art can fake out twelve stupid people. I've seen it done with one or two."

-Jerry Saltz, How to Be an Artist

"For now, make something, learn something, and move on. Or you’ll be buried waist-deep in the big muddy of perfectionism."

-Jerry Saltz, How to Be an Artist

"But doubt is a sign of faith: it tests and humbles you, allows newness into your life. Best of all, doubt banishes the stifling effect of certainty. Certainty kills curiosity and change."
