I was just queueing for the self checkout at Sainsbury's and the staff guy clicked his fingers at me and silently pointed at a free one. I think he was even more surprised he'd done it than I was

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
