Amanda Palmer Quote

“There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to art school, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.”-Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking: or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

Humans of New York Stories

Humans of New York isn’t just my favourite website, it’s one of my favourite things in the world. Period.

Don’t take my word for it, though. Only it can do itself justice.

The companion book, Humans of New York Stories, came out a couple of months ago. I cannot recommend it enough. Brandon, his subjects, and the entire HoNY community are immensely open and giving. It’s beautiful.
