Homeophatic Ways To Relieve Dreaded Artist Block
1. Clear out your studio, be ruthless with all failed experiments/sketches. THROW IT AWAY.
2. Press the FUCK IT button and go watch a movie
3. Consume other media - books, films, cartoons, autumn sunsets, etc.
4. Drink heavily in a bar where you don't know anyone. Talk to strangers.
5. Cook yourself food. This simple act of self-preservation/nurturing will put everything in context.
6. Make someone a present. Remember how good it feels to make things for the sake of making things?
7. Do the complete oppposite of what you are doing in the studio at the moment. If you are hanging shit, put it on the floor. If you are casting like there is no tomorrow, pick up a needle and thread. Etc.
8. Have good sex (this can be quite hard to arrange, the lack of which is sometimes the very reason for said Artist Block)
9. Drive to the airport
10. Buy stationary
11. Knock back a few shots of scotch and wander aimlessly around the local hardware store
Good luck.
xoxo,
betta.
