Just get it done.
Andy Warhol approached art less like art and more like manufacturing. His studio was literally called "The Factory". He was an anomaly for his time.
While Warhol's contemporaries were warring against the commercialization of art in the 1960s, he embraced the constant change. Because of his adoption of innovations like mass printing, Warhol had just as many enemies as he did raving fans.
He avoided his enemies by taking a hard-hat approach to the creation of art...
“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”
I've found this is to be the only effective formula for battling self-doubt:
- Make a lot of art
- Ship a lot of art
- Don't read the reviews
Don't think about making art, just get it done.
