Get To Work! You Big Babies!
Information:
On October 4, 2023 I launched the project “Get To Work! You Big Babies!” an open edition of products that lift your spirits, hopes and dreams.
Anyone who follows acclaimed art critic @jerrysaltz knows that he encourages his audience by often saying “Get To Work! You Big Babies!” I remember once seeing his handwritten marker on yellow notepad paper, posted to his Facebook account on March 5, 2019. It had an impact on me. Like many artists and many people, I deal with depression. I’ve had huge lows and ultimate highs. But dang, those lows are really low. Anyway, back to Jerry’s words of wisdom - I’ve had a mixed reaction to his words. I often feel he doesn’t know how depressed an artist can get. But then he was an artist and we all know the history of his mother too. So maybe he does. But then I flip and take his words and they sometimes lift me out of the darkness. Anyway, if you’re like me, and you may find these words inspirational, I have something you may be interested in.
