Pre-order now
My next book is called Don’t Call It Art.
It’s a creative liberation handbook inspired by what I learned from being a studio assistant to my two creative kids:
“Cheery, upbeat lessons on creativity…. Full of fun, wryly witty wisdom (and quotes from such artists as John Cleese, Ray Bradbury, and Doris Lessing), this serves as a charming—if not wholly novel—reminder to let go in order to tap into one’s freest creative self. Artists who feel stuck will savor it.”
—Publishers Weekly
The title is stolen from something the artist John Baldessari said:
“I learned so much about art from watching a kid draw…. Kids don’t call it art when they’re throwing things around, drawing—they’re just doing stuff.”
The book comes out June 2, 2026, but you can already pre-order it here.
If you pre-order now, you get access to special bonus material!
I’ll be writing about the process and sharing behind-the-scenes stuff in my newsletter.
