Synopsis

Every person struggles with a unique set of problems that no one else fully understands. If you're an artist, people admire your talent, but they don't know about all the frustrations that come with it. Friends and colleagues expect you to stop what you're doing and draw family portraits for them. They treat you like a picture machine. And they tell you all the ways you "should" make money with your art. This book is about coping with these frustrations. But it's not just a book for artists. It's a book for anybody who has trouble saying "no" to people.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Once, my boss asked me to draw a portrait of his children, but I didn't want to do it. In order to draw a picture, I have to WANT to draw it. I can't spend three or four hours huddled over a piece of paper if there's no passion in my heart. I'm not a picture machine. But my boss kept hounding me. When I reluctantly agreed to draw his children, he gave me a tiny photo of them. I could barely see their faces at all. In fact, the kids didn't even appear to have noses. My boss didn't understand that I needed to SEE the kids in order to draw them. Since then, I've learned how to say no to people. It's one of the greatest skills I've ever learned. My life is so much easier now. This book is more than a grumpy rant. It's a story about learning to cope with annoying people.
