8 Artist Tips on How to Not Give a Damn and Just Do Your Own Thing

Making uncompromising art is tough so we collected some artist tips from some of the greatest artists in our time. It’s hard not to follow trends and worry about marketing if you’ve been doing this for quite a while. It’s hard to make any kind of art especially when the world sees artists as simply lazy and delusional.

But the best kind of art springs from abandoning all of these noise. It doesn’t mean that you’re aiming for the struggling artist route per se, but it’s knowing and recognizing what to prioritize first and always— your own voice, your own style despite everyone trying to tell you to follow a safe pattern.

Here are some inspiring quotes and tips from artists who prefer to create their own path no matter the consequences:
