Why We Love and Hate Our Art (and How to Cope)

We've all experienced it. You make art. Art looks bad. Emotions run high. You think of quitting the discipline altogether, and the hermit's life in the middle of nowhere increasingly seems like the best prospect. In this video, I discuss the highs and lows of some of my recent paintings, my rocky relationship with art as a whole, and how I'm choosing to move forward with the punches. And trust me, there are a lot of punches.
