Never Better

(This post is particularly apropos as I’m sending this at 11:55p. 5 minutes prior to my daily Midnight deadline)

For most things, especially those that you have to complete on someone else’s deadline (school, work, etc.) “better late than never” is good advice.

However, when it comes to your art it should be “better live up to my own standard of excellence or never.”

This is not a defense of perfectionism, which is just another way of hiding.

It’s about having your own sense of taste, tenacity and standards that you live by. As well as knowing who your art is far and why you want to make it for them.

If you don’t have or know these things yet, then never is better.
