This is how it was for me. My whole life I was too lazy to put in the work to be a great artist until about 2 years ago when I literally could not stand being that way. That is is when I finally took art seriously and I've come a long way since then.
LESSON NOTES

Marshall and Stan have another book club episode, this time discussing “Art and Fear” by David Bayles and Ted Orland. The book explores how fear inhibits an artist’s work and the way in which an artist can confront their fears to help them create. Some of the topics covered include the difference between stopping and quitting, how you can be the best version of yourself, the way we are similar to geniuses like Mozart, and more.
