The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission to Be The Artist You Truly Are | Danny Gregory
2 posts | 6 to read
When Danny Gregory's life was turned upside down by tragedy, he learned to cope by teaching himself to draw. The result was a complete transformation of his life, his priorities, his career, and the way he saw the world. In handwritten chapters full of his lush watercolor illustrations, Danny now offers readers a program for reconnecting to their own creative energies, using drawing as an example. He gently instructs us in the art of allowing ourselves to fail, giving up the expectation of perfection and opening our eyes to the beauty around us. The result is the permission to express ourselves fully and take part in the creative process without fear. Artist or not, readers of all stripes will find inspiration in this unique and beautiful book.

"If you try to suppress that urge... All that creative energy, an inextricable part of you, will be diverted into self-torture, and you will create doubt and anxiety and hostility and stress and paranoia and anger and resentment. In the end, you see, you can't really suppress your creative urge."

Yesterday was meant to be a day off: I spent most of it doing domestic chores.
Today is suffering, as a result. ?
