    Is the problem really your art—or just how you’re looking at it? We’ve all been there.

    There Are No Art Police—So Why Are You Following Their Rules?

    Do you believe that if you think outside of the box and actually apply that thinking to your work that the art police will come to arrest you or take away your brushes? As absurd as that seems, refusing to follow your instincts as an artist because of your fear of negative nancy voices still has the same effect on you.
