Seth Godin
You don't make art after you become an artist. You become an artist by ceaselessly making art.

Art is frightening. Art isn't pretty. Art isn't painting. Art isn't something you hang on the wall. Art is what we do when we're truly alive.

Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.

Seth Godin
When you set down the path to create art, whatever sort of art it is, understand that the path is neither short not easy. That means you must determine if the route is worth the effort. If it's not, dream bigger.

Seth Godin
You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.

Seth Godin
I think art is the ability to change people with your work, to see things as they are and then create stories, images, and interactions that change the marketplace.

Seth Godin
Marketing is the act of inventing the product. The effort of designing it. The craft of producing it. The art of pricing it. The technique of selling it.
