How To Be An Artist, by honesty_kills Subscribe to rss feed for honesty_kills

Stay loose. learn to watch snails. plant impossible
gardens.
invite someone dangerous to tea.make little signs that say
Yes! and post them all around your house make friends with
freedom and uncertainty. look forward to dreams. cry during
movies. swing as high as you can on a swingset by
moonlight.
cultivate moods. refuse to "be responsible". do it for
love.
take lots of naps. give money away. do it now. the money
will follow. believe in magic.laugh a lot. celebrate every
gorgeous moment. take moonbaths. have wild imaginings,
transformative dreams and perfect calm. draw on the walls.
read everyday. imagine yourself magic. giggle with
children.
listen to old people. open up. dive in. be free. bless
yourself. drive away fear. play with everything. entertain
your inner child. you are innocent. build a fort with
blankets. get wet. hug trees.
                   write love letters.
