Your Inner Critic is a Big Jerk

The key to silencing your inner critic once and for all, Your Inner Critic is a Big Jerk introduces readers to ten truths that all creative people must face in order to defeat self-doubt. Each encouraging chapter presents a single pivotal moment on the path to creative success--fear of the blank page, the dangers of jealousy, sharing work with others--and explains how to accept each potential roadblock as a part of the process and navigate their pitfalls with confidence. Packed with thoughtful anecdotes, quotes from makers, practical exercises gleaned from artist and curator Danielle Krysa''s years of working with professional and aspiring artists and hilariously awesome illustrations by indie art darling Martha Rich, this book arms readers with an essential tool for their creative toolbox: the confidence they need to get down to business and make good work.
