"There was too much to think about. It was too interesting. Too inspiring. I'd need to live another thousand years to bring to life all the new ideas this book gave me."--Ben Kay, creative director

"Stuart Semple is the most amazing human. In real life and in art."

"Your turn to move! Stuart is a force of nature, and with a little help from this magical book, you can be as well. Inspiration on every single page."--Seth Godin, author of The Practice

"What I admire about Stuart is his prodding, finger-in-the-wound of the art world's sacred cows and their indomitable egos, something I readily identify with. A swashbuckling, frolicking good ride of a read."--Kenny Schachter, artist, collector, curator, professor, and columnist

"A liberatory book. . . . a must-have for every artist. Semple gives permission and pathways to light up every artist's practice. Artists: Stuart is your loving guide. Join him!" --Beth Pickens, author of Make Your Art No Matter What
