ARTIST PODCAST With Rafi And Klee

In this episode, Klee and I discuss creative (music and art) stigmas that other creatives or professionals use in the art world to criticize you or your craft. We discuss three specific stigmas that are usually used as a weapon against creatives. These Stigmas are:

Age, you are either too young or too old.

Education, You lack the credentials, thus you are no good.

Digital Equipment, You use a computer to create your craft, thus you are not a real artist.

There might be a bit of a rant in there, so be prepared.

Perfectionism can be one of the most harmful things an artist can do to themselves. Especially because there really is no such thing.

There are a lot of people who love to give advice to artists, especially people who have never sold a work of art in their life. Always take advice with a grain of salt and consider the source.
