THE ART COMMANDMENTS by Rob Lacey.

1  I’m God - the source of your oozing talent

2  No idols -  Hero’s, yes; mentors, yes; but no idols

3  Blasphemy -  ”mediocrity is blasphemous” - Steve Stickley

4  Rest day - call it ‘incubation’, ‘gestation’, ‘creative idleness’ whatever, re-creation comes after/before creation

5  Respect your parents -  honour your heritage. new doesn’t always=better

6  Adultery - don’t use your celebrity for your own ends.

7  Murder - Art inspires life, cynicism kills

8  Theft - quote your sources (see 3)

9  Lies - audiences want truth not tricks. be.

10  Jealousy - How do you react to greatness?
