Draftsmen | Art and Fear - Draftsmen S2E24 @Draftsmen | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Marshall and Stan have another book club episode, this time discussing “Art and Fear” by David Bayles and Ted Orland. The book explores how fear inhibits an artist’s work and the way in which an artist can confront their fears to help them create. Some of the topics covered include the difference between stopping and quitting, how you can be the best version of yourself, the way we are similar to geniuses like Mozart, and more.
