How to make good* art in your Twenties:

A guide to the creative process; just like they teach in Art School 

• ·         Suffer some great injustice or trauma 
• ·         Allow pain to fester into resentment
• ·         Break some things – probably not your own things
• ·         Scribble mindlessly and angrily – maybe your ex-girlfriends face, maybe with black holes instead of eyes to symbolise her thoughtlessness (how deep!)
• ·         Write down some sad words like: pestilence, self-flagellation, martyr
• ·         Lose 20kgs 
• ·         Take up some kind of self-destructive habit – alcoholism is a time tested favourite among established artists. 
• ·         Hate your parents
• ·         Read Nietzsche
• ·         Adopt Nihilism 
• ·         Abstain from friendship 
• ·         Forget what it’s like to have a meaningful relationship
• ·         Make some art occasionally
