Promotional Principles for Creative People
Yancey Strickler’s Nine Creative Meditations
To me or to the mean - Focus on what makes your work strange or unique rather than trying to fit in with what everyone else is doing.
You are your audience - Create work that satisfies your own desires and interests rather than trying to please an imagined mass audience.
Small is more rewarding than big - V
These principles act as a soft manifesto for myself, and for anyone else who wants to be an artist practicing for softer reasons at softer paces in softer spaces:
- Can you afford to break down any barriers between your work and the audience? (monetary, language, accessibility, etc.)
- What can you gain, that is not money, from the work?
- Who, that is not
