4 Secrets to Living a Bold, Creative Life
In his new book Feck Perfuction: Dangerous Ideas on the Business of Life, artist and designer James Victore shares 77 refreshing lessons for creative professionals on how to pursue a fulfilling career and make bold, meaningful work.

Op-Ed: Success Is Having the Balls to Trust Yourself
As a commercial designer, a number of things excite me creatively and motivate me to make great work: the opportunity to create for an audience, the novelty of doing a project for the first time and, of course, getting paid. But nothing ruins a perfectly good hard-on for work like having a client who does not trust me. Trust sets the stage and allows good work to happen. In essence TRUST is the lifeblood of my business, possibly of any business.
Tattly™ Designy Temporary Tattoos.
Tattly celebrates art by licensing designs from professional artists and turning them into high-quality temporary tattoos. Our artists get a generous cut of every single sale. We think that's only fair. We see our tattoos as an experience of play and self-expression, a moment of being a rebel and doing something daring. Wearing a Tattly allows a glimpse into a life where you don’t care about what other people think.
Smoked Out | June Thunderstorm
The marijuana legalizers say they will kindly not imprison our dear pot workers anymore, and perhaps clear their records of past marijuana-related charges. That is not enough. The new marijuana tycoons and their lackey politicians must do much more than promise not to throw pot workers in jail. They must also pay unemployment benefits to all traditional-sector pot workers who are laid off and suffer other economic losses on account of their predation.
Op-Ed: Confidence vs Shyness - 99U
As a design professor at the School of Visual Arts, each semester I do an impromptu survey of shyness in my class by simply asking who in the group believes they are shy. Inevitably, at least three quarters of the students raise their hands… albeit only shoulder high. I don’t believe this phenomenon is limited to students of the visual arts, but do other professions like accountants or TV repairmen suffer from this? Are we all shy? Shyness is not genetic. At least it is not proven to be.
Jason Fried: Make “Creative Destruction” a Regular Part of Your Routine - 99U
|
While a common sentiment is to protect our creative routines, Basecamp CEO Jason Fried urges us to fall madly out of love with the ones we truly care about. “The easiest thing to do is become comfortable and complacent,” says Fried. And the more comfortable you become with a way of doing things, the more willing you are to protect it, even if it no longer is the most effective way to create something. In this talk, Fried provides a blueprint to change our work habits.

The Undeniable Benefits of Being Weird - 99U
All my life I’ve heard the same refrain, “Why can’t you be‌ Normal?â€? But, everything in life has its risks including (and especially) being ‘Normal.’ Most of us understand there’s risk when taking the chance and aspiring to something more. But even more are ignorant of the cost of Normal, the cost of not taking chances, and the risk of complacency. It has become easy to buy into the “be like usâ€?
The Undeniable Benefits of Being Weird
All my life I’ve heard the same refrain, “Why can’t you be… Normal?” But, everything in life has its risks including (and especially) being ‘Normal.’ Most of us understand there’s risk when taking the chance and aspiring to something more. But even more are ignorant of the cost of Normal, the cost of not taking chances, and the risk of complacency.
You Can Have an Easy Life or an Awesome One. Choose Wisely.
A few years back after one of my more impassioned lectures, a young buck in the back row raised his hand. “Mr. Victore,” he said, “I understand what you’re saying about taking risks in your career, but I’ve got rent to pay.” I was shocked by his defeatist attitude, saddened at how the practicalities of life had already beaten this young creative soul down so that his biggest ambition in life was to pay rent. Gone was adventurous youth.

Op-Ed: In The Particular Lies The Universal
It’s no coincidence that brilliant creative minds are rarely witnessed. Steve Jobs, Tina Fey, Banksy. Mavericks and renegades — telling their stories, spilling their guts, and divulging themselves for our progress, our enlightenment, and our entertainment. Like us, they feel the heat of failure, defeat, humiliation, and financial ruin, but they do it anyway. They do whatever it takes to put their lives and ideals into their work. They have to. And the world loves them even more for it.

Eye Magazine | Blog | Rip and recycle
Many regard climate change as a problem, but there are precious few who conquer their apathy long enough to do anything about it, writes Alexander Ecob. Timely, then, to see the release of Green Patriot Posters: Graphics for a Sustainable Community (eds. Dmitri Siegel & Edward Morris, Thames and Hudson £19.95, top). It’s a whole book-full of pithy posters, designed to spark eco-idlers into action.
