Quote of the Day

No matter how famous they get, the forward-thinking artists of today aren't just looking for fans or passive consumers of their work, they're looking for potential collaborators, or co-conspirators.  These artists acknowledge that good work isn't created in a vacuum, and that the experience of art is always a two-way street, incomplete without feedback.  These artists hang out online and answer questions.  They ask for reading recommendations.  They chat with fans about the stuff they love.

-- Austin Kleon, Show Your Work!, p. 126
