My co-worker stood uncomfortably close, breathing heavily on me as he watched me draw. My throat tightened. My blood pressure rose. I knew exactly what was coming next. "If I gave you a picture of my old lady, do you think you could draw her for me?" he asked. At first, I didn't answer him. It's hard for me to say the word "no." That's why I've spent countless hours of my life drawing pictures I didn't want to draw...

Reflecting upon the occasions when others around him badger him for drawings, the author (an illustrator and writer) explores the feelings an artist might feel when they are pressured into being creative when they don’t feel like it. As a fellow writer myself, I share the same feelings and I was reminded of them as I read this book.Creativity doesn’t always come easy. For many artists, it takes time to produce a work of art that we are satisfied with. The book emphatically agrees with this thought, and Mr Curry illustrates this notion through recounting the times when his colleagues demand drawings from him at work. Sometimes Mr Curry decides to give in – asking to showcase your passion is essentially a compliment and so it can be hard for an artist to not feel flattered when they are asked for their services.The book also does a good job of explaining how the environment an artist is in can influence their moods and creativity. Mr Curry introduces us to quirky yet bothersome characters around his town, characters who ultimately make him question why he is in the town he is in. While I felt there could be more back story to these characters, they gave me a bit of a chuckle and I felt sorry for the author for having to put up with them as he tries to draw and get on with his life.Towards the end of the book, the author touches upon travel and finding inspiration from new surroundings. Recounting on his school trip abroad, Mr Curry urges artists to enjoy each moment around them no matter where they are. When it comes to our creative craft, we don’t have to practise it every second and be perfect at it – quoting from the book, “Art doesn’t have to be perfect in order to be good”. Rather, live the stories around you as they happen, take a few moments to relish them and then take some time to relive that experience through our passions – which can make for unique works of art. A solid message.Overall, I really enjoyed this book and wanted to finish it in one sitting. I thought that it was incredibly refreshing to hear an artist be so upfront about the hard times that come with pursuing passions that matter to them.

Like depression and not liking to be told what to create. When I was in high school (in southern Virginia), I wrote a short story for English class entitled "Town of the Spider." It rather summed up my feelings about the southern community where I lived. My teacher liked it well enough to have me read it for the class (sadly the bell rang and the class never heard all of it). Again sadly, once when I was super angry at my first husband I burned all my high school short stories and poems in our wood stove. That was a super rash decision I've regretted since. After Don (second husband) died I took pills for depression...and found myself with the same side effects you had...I quit cold turkey because I decided I'd rather feel the pain then feel like my head was in a fog all the time. I over think, worry, and otherwise torture myself about "woulda, coulda, shoulda." I've done a lot of that since Don died. I need to wrap this up but want to tell you one of my "dealing with others art stories" before I go. My North Carolina born and bred first husband didn't have a clue about someone who liked to create...either with art or words. When we moved to our second house there was a fairly large room at ground level (I always figured it probably would have been the garage), we weren't using it for anything but storage so I turned it into my art studio...that lasted all of about 2 seconds. The next thing I knew it was turned into what is now known as a "man cave" for the ex.ARGGGG!!! Happy you keep drawing and writing...I'm going to reread "Under the Electric Sun." :) P.S. I'm curious...have you moved?

Mathew shares hopes and successes and failures and frustrations of trying to become an artist that would earn a living in art. How do talented people break through the barriers is a question he explores with self deprecating humor. As a person that has tried to get my work "out there" too, I have gone down the same roads and identified with his often frustrating efforts. He did make me smile and chuckle here and there and also nod my head with a lot of "yep, that's how it is" agreement.
