creative reflections: sharing your art + calling yourself an artist

Lately I’ve been reading The Art of You: The Essential Guidebook for Reclaiming Your Creativity by James McCrae, and it got me thinking about why we create and share art.

Originally published on Substack @ Copy & Coffee. That’s my weekly newsletter :) There’s been a lot of fuss recently about a study claiming that humans will turn into zombies by the year 2100. Also, our pets will turn into carnivorous plants and eat us (don’t worry, we won’t feel a thing and they won’t […]

Originally published on Substack @ Copy & Coffee. That’s my weekly newsletter :) Happy Friday! I’ll keep it super informal today, because it’s Friday (duh) and we’re going away for the weekend (yay).
