When something is RIPE it is ready to eat

Think like a banana

when we make art, at some point we have to decide "this picture is done"

and then stop playing about with it and just sign it

save a copy and post it online

And that is the smell of ripeness - ready to go

eat it now, before it goes soggy

"The job is not the work” - Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

“The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job.

Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people."
