Beskrivelse
UM, is a self-help book for creatives, filled with illustrated quotes, ideas and exercises. UM gathers hard-won insight from my own learning and practise across 25 years of creating professionally (and for my own sanity). I titled it "UM" because I don't really know. But also, the word itself gives birth to thoughts and ideas - and this whole book. I usually have to say a hundred Ums to get one Ah!
Included:
Tips for inviting ideasExercises for play and getting things startedTactical practises to immediately apply and elevate your workWalkthrough of the development and crappy early drafts of my most shared poemsPros/cons and paths to traditional and self publishingArt life anecdotesKeeping the art spark alive while working meaningless jobs I hope this book turns an Um into an Ah! (or two) for you.
