Seth has a new book coming out at the end of the year. It’s called The Icarus Deception. It’s what I’ll be giving everyone for their birthday next year. (Sorry to ruin the surprise.)

I took part in his fantastic and educational Kickstarter effort to support the publishing of this brave, new book, so I’ve got a preview of the book this weekend. It’s about a subject close to my heart, how everyone needs to make art. (In order to be more fully human, in my opinion. In order to fulfill your potential, in Seth’s.)

Here’s a quotation that made my heart flutter, so I had to share…

This is about doing work that is personal, that requires guts, and that has the potential to change everything. Art is the act of a human being, doing generous work, creating something for the first time, touching another person.

This is a book about why each of us should make art. Why it’s worth the price. And why we can’t wait.”
