How to Be an Artist

This collection is an expansion of a feature article that Salz wrote for New York Magazine with the same title. There's some new material, some reworking, but most of the content and scope is the same.

I really enjoy Salz' craftsman attitude toward art an art making. It's both mystical and pragmatic. He treats training yourself to see better and training yourself to reserve some desk space and learning how to duck out of work early to give yourself time back as all parts of the same project.

If you haven't read the magazine article, I would give this a strong recommendation, if the title is enough to grab you.
