Hmmm, that sounds fun. But do you ever feel out of touch with real people, real struggle?
What bothers you most about this? How does it influence your work?
I'm sorry, we can't help you.
But you should probably reach out to this guy, ASAP:
Would you most like to . . .
You need to do some serious soul searching.
Some digging. Some deep diving. Maybe it's time to dig a well.
Or go to page 45 in the workbook.
You've led a sheltered life.
It's okay. Maybe you just need to connect more with people who are really going through it, develop some empathy, step out of your comfort zone.
Go to page 10 in the workbook.
Get it together, this is not about you.
You need to listen very carefully. We're going to do an ego cleanse. Go to page 92 in the workbook. After you've cried a little bit, go to page 31, figure out who it is you're making art for/with/about, and make some art for god's sake.
Are struggling with feelings of . . .
You're privileged.
It's hard, I get it. Now, get over it.
Go to page 92 in the workbook.
You've lost faith in yourself and the people around you.
You must learn to trust again.
Go to page 28 in the workbook.
Okay, but how certain are you that this person will always be there?
How suppportive is your partner of your art practice?
That sounds intense.
Do you ever miss making the kind of work you made before you forgot who you were, before you met your partner?
You need to reconnect with your discrete former self.
Money, art and love! Sounds like you're living the dream!
Our work here is done. You may close your Internet browser and go home.
Are you cool with that?
Go to page 45 in the workbook.
This is a serious problem.
Do you want to...
Soon you will be healed.
Contact this person. Commission a healing session. Re-commission as many times as needed. When it is all over, commence making art.
Soon you will be free.
Go to page 5 in the workbook. You are to make a new you. Then, go to page 12. You are to commission a seductive performance by your new self, to be acted out by her. Address this performance to your old self. Watch it everyday for 21 days, or until you break up. When it is all over, commence making art.
Maybe you just need a new language.
Go to page 38 in the workbook, then to page 90 to reconnect.
How suppportive is your mom of your art practice?
This must be very comforting.
Our work here is done. You may close your Internet browser and go home.
Sandwiches?
We're sorry, we know what that means. Go to page 92 in the workbook.
Oh no, what happened?
You're going about this all wrong.
Stop oversharing. Go to page 5 in the workbook.
You've lost faith in the system.
Go to page 85 in the workbook.
Whoa, that must feel great?! But now what?
Flip a Coin
You need help getting on task.
Go to page 23 in the workbook.
You need to relax.
Go to page 54 in the workbook.
Are you longing for...
Meeting people is easy.
Go to page page 50 in the workbook.
You need to find your audience.
Go to page 31 in the workbook.
You need to find yourself.
Go to page 26 in the workbook.
That's great! But... You're old.
I mean, no offense, but you can't exactly "emerge" at retirement age. The art world doesn't work that way.
You mean, by yourself or with other people?
Yeah, the cutoff is 35. Can you believe it?!
Odds of making it after that plummet times a zillion. You're not cute anymore either, so you know...
You are to commission a project for yourself.
Go to page 90.
Meeting people is easy.
Go to page 50 in the workbook.
Flip a coin.
So, you want to be a celebrity too?
We're sorry, we can't do that for you.
But after you figure it out, go to page 16 in the workbook.
